Steps:

Clean chicken of all visible fat and cartilage. Cut each breast in half and pound slightly. Marinate the chicken with the vermouth, eggs, cornstarch, salt and pepper for 30 minutes. Sear in a hot non-stick pan on both sides in 2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Let cool. Saute onions and garlic in 2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil for 3 minutes until translucent. Deglaze with white wine and reduce by half. Add the soy sauce and oyster sauce along with chicken stock. Allow to reduce by 1/3 of the original volume. Thicken with cornstarch and water, mix just to nape. Cool completely. Saute ginger in oil, add red peppers and saute slightly. Add the mango to warm. Add the sauce and warm, saute asparagus until al dente. Pour sauce over chicken, top with sauteed asparagus and serve with honeyed walnuts.
