5 scallions separated sliced cut into 1/2-inch pieces and greens ,
0.8 pound chicken thighs boneless skinless cut into 3/4- to 1-inch pieces ( 2 large)
1 tablespoon sugar
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
Equipment
bowl
frying pan
stove
wok
slotted spoon
Directions
Toss the chicken with the egg white, 1 tablespoon each rice wine and cornstarch, 1 teaspoon soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
Mix together 1/3 cup water, the remaining 4 teaspoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice wine and 2 teaspoons cornstarch, the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl until dissolved; set aside.
Place the sauce, vegetables and chicken near the stove.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil in a large wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; swirl to coat the wok. Once the oil is hot, scoop the chicken from the bowl with a slotted spoon, letting any excess coating remain in the bowl, and add to the oil. Stir-fry, breaking the chicken up just enough so it doesn't clump, until the outside coating is set and lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and set aside. Wipe the wok out if needed.
Return the wok to medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the wok. Just as the oil begins to smoke, add the ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the scallion whites and peppers and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
Add the corn and stir-fry until just soft, about 1 minute.
Add the chicken and the sauce (stir the sauce before adding); stir until the sauce is thick and the vegetables and chicken are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes.
