Instructions: 1. Skin and bone chicken; cut in 2-inch squares.

2. Blend cornstarch and cold water to a paste. Add egg whites and beat until smooth. Coat chicken with mixture and let stand 10 minutes.

3. Bring water to a boil. Add coated chicken, one piece at a time (to maintain the boiling). Cook, uncovered, 2 to 3 minutes. Then drain, discarding liquid. Rinse chicken under cold running water and drain again.

4. Stem mushrooms and cut in two; shell peas. Bring the second quantity of water to a boil. Add mushrooms and peas and cook, uncovered, 3 minutes.

5. Add chicken squares, salt and pepper. Simmer, covered, until chicken is done (about 10 minutes).

6. Blend remaining cornstarch and cold water to a paste, then stir in to thicken. Stir in soy sauce and serve.
