Ginger Chicken!

One of my favorite dinners! We usually make this with beef, but chicken is what we had, so we just went with it. Jonathan made dumplings to go with. yummm.

   *   1 lb chicken or steak, sliced into narrow strips
   *   2-3 cups of chopped vegetables (we use carrots, red bell pepper, and broccoli)

   * 1/2 cup water
   * 2 eggs
   
   
   * canola oil
   * 2-4 gloves garlic, minced

   * 3 green onions, chopped

-Cut chicken or steak into narrow strips. -Cut vegetables into strips/chunks.

-Place 3/4 cup cornstarch in a large bowl, mix in 1/2 cup water (it will be kind of hard to stir), Stir until combined. Whisk in two eggs.

-Heat about an inch of oil in a wok

-Add meat to the cornstarch mixture. Add to the wok and fry in small batches.
