Ingredients

2 teaspoons cornstarch, divided
3 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/4-inch strips
1 tablespoon water
1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar

1 dash hot pepper sauce
1/2 cup walnut halves
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

In a bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon soy sauce until smooth; add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine water, vinegar, sugar, hot pepper sauce and remaining cornstarch and soy sauce; set aside. In a skillet, saute walnuts in oil until toasted; remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. In the same skillet, stir-fry chicken until juices run clear. Remove and keep warm.
