1 large Tomato
1 tbsp. Snow Peas
1 tbsp. Cold Water

Directions:

Step 1

In a small bowl, soak the mushrooms in warm water for 25 minutes.

Step 2

Wash and remove the outer coating of ginger. Cut ginger in thin strips length-wise, and repeat the cut (matchstick cut). Cut green onion into 3 sections, then thinly slice length-wise. In a medium bowl, soak ginger and green onion in chicken stock for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Cut the chicken breast into big chunks. Add chicken to a food processor and finely grind. Over the chicken, strain the chicken stock, and discard the ginger and green onion. Add 1/2 teaspoons of salt, 1/4 teaspoons of white pepper, and 2 tablespoons of corn starch to meat.

Step 6

Add the stiff egg whites to the ground chicken, and mix well.

Step 7

Heat medium skillet to low heat, then add 1 tablespoon of oil. Spoon out the chicken mixture to form 6 small pancakes in the skillet. After it cooks enough to have shape, add 1 cup of oil. Fry patties on each side for 3 minutes.

Step 8

Remove from pan into a bowl of water to rinse excess oil off. Cut the chicken into rectangle shapes with a cutter or free-hand. Keep all pieces of the meat.

Step 9

Cut sides off the tomato, and remove the fleshy centers. Then diagonally cut into strips.

Step 10

Cut snow peas diagonally. Cut mushrooms in thin, length-wise, strips.

Step 11

In a large skillet, add 3/4 cups of chicken stock, mushrooms, snow peas, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Let boil. Add tomato slices, 1 teaspoon of corn starch, 1 tablespoon of cold water, the chicken patties, and the cut ends. Let boil.
