The following is from The Gourmet Chinese Regional Cookbook; Castle Press, 1982:
Poach the chicken for 20 minutes, allow it to cool and slice into pieces ⅛ x 1½ x 1-inch. String the snow peas. Slice the mushrooms, cabbage and water chestnuts thinly. Heat a skillet or wok, then add the peanut oil and salt. Just before the oil begins to smoke, add all the vegetables and stir-fry for ½ minute. Add the water, cover and cook for 2 minutes. Add the chicken, cornstarch mixture, pepper and sugar. Stir until the sauce is thickened. Yield: 2-4 servings.
