Chicken with Macadamia Nuts Recipe at Cooking.com
DIRECTIONS
In a bowl, marinate the chicken in the egg white while you parboil the vegetables.
In a pot, bring the water to a boil and add the carrots. Cover and bring the water back to boil and cook for a minute. Add the asparagus and boil for another minute. Drain the vegetables, cool them in cold water, and set aside.
In a wok or large skillet, heat the vegetable oil. When very hot, add the chicken and stir-fry over high heat for 1 minute, or until the chicken is opaque. Add the garlic, carrots, and asparagus and continue to stir-fry for 1 minute more to heat the vegetables through and finish cooking the chicken.
Add scallions, macadamia nuts, and hoisin sauce and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the dissolved cornstarch and simmer for 30 seconds. Season with salt.

I had all the ingredients and love macadamia nuts, so thought I would try it. Wasn't sure it would be so good with so few seasonings. I did add some sherry, but don't know that it needed it. I served it over rice. Will keep this one.
