Cut the chicken into 3/4 inch cubes. In a bowl, beat the egg. Dip the

In a small bowl, combine the water, soy sauce and cornstarch. Set

Heat the 2-3 tablespoons of oil in the wok. Add chicken, peppers,
garlic and ginger. Then add the remaining ingredients including the
bamboo shoots but not the water-soy-cornstarch mixture and cook 2-3
minutes. Add the water-soy-cornstarch mixture and simmer until sauce
thickens. Transfer to warmed dish and serve.
