This is a Bob Chinn's Restaurant recipe found in the Chicago Sun-Times. While I haven't made this recipe, I've had this dish at his restaurant and it's outstanding. I plan to try this soon. Prep and cook times are approximate.

- In a small bowl, slowly add 1 cup water to cornstarch and stir until smooth.
- Slowly add half of the cornstarch mixture to the wok and bring mixture to a boil.
