A delicious stir-fry, economical and quick to make. I like to serve this over soba noodles and rice would work as well. Don't let the length of the ingredients list put you off.

1 large egg white
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 whole boneless skinless chicken breast (about 3/4 pound), cut into 3/4-inch pieces
2 pints Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved or, if large, quartered
1/4 cup peanut or vegetable oil
1 shallot, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
