Directions
Mom’s Chinese Walnut Chicken, This is a dish my mom has been making forever. It is very tasty and appeals to all. We only serve this dish occasionally as it is pretty high salt — although it is probably lower in sodium than anything you would get at a Chinese restaurant. You should adjust the garlic and ginger to your taste as my mom has never measured how much she uses. We usually serve this with brown rice and a couple of vegetables (a green and an orange so that the table is aesthetically pleasing)., We make it with low-sodium soy sauce and use a little less to cut back on salt., I thought the dish could have been exelent but the salt was just to overpowering we couldnt eat it. I am going to try it again but will change the sauce some to be less salty. the cornstarch mixture on the chicken was fantastic however once the sauce was made it was just horribly salty.
