Instructions: Soak the mushrooms in hot water for 10 minutes. Chop the walnuts and fry in 2 tablespoons of the oil for 2 minutes. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper to remove all traces of oil.

Cut the chicken meat into small pieces, fry in remaining oil for 3 minutes over fierce heat, stirring all the time. Mix the cornstarch to a smooth paste with the sherry, soy sauce, salt and sugar. Add to the chicken and mix well.

Drain the mushrooms and chop roughly, add to the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Add the walnuts.
