How to Make Al Tipper Gore's Chinese Chicken With Walnuts

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons water, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth.
  2. Stir in 1 tablespoon dry sherry or mirin, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste), and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Preheat a wok or large skillet over high heat.
  4. Add 2 teaspoons vegetable oil.
  5. Add 1 cup sliced green bell peppers and 1/2 cup sliced onions. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly softened. Remove from wok and set aside.
