1TBS bottled oyster sauce
2TBS walnut pieces
3tsp sesame oil, divided
1tsp. minced ginger
1 clove garlic
1/4C diced carrots

Hoisin sauce
Iceberg lettuce leaves

Steps:

Toast walnuts in a 350* oven for about 5 minutes. Chop coarsely Place chicken in a bowl with oyster sauce and let stand 10 minutes Heat wok over high heat. Add 1tsp sesame oil. Add ginger and cook, stirring until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Cook rice sticks in a little oil until they puff. Heat oil, put in rice sticks and they will "explode". Mix with other ingredients. Add chicken and stir fry for 1 minute. Add garlic, carrots, mushrooms and water chestnuts. Stir fry 2 minutes. Add remaining 2 tsp. sesame oil and Chinese rice wine. Cook to heat through a few seconds. Add walnuts and toss to coat. Remove from heat.
