- 3 Tablespoons rice wine, mirin or sherry, [optional]
- 1 teaspoon sugar [or agave]
How to make it:- Put a medium pot of salted water to boil.

- In a bowl, mix the cornstarch [or arrowroot] into the water.
- Add the soy sauce [or tamari], mirin and sugar [or agave].
- Stir to blend.
Main Dish:
- Heat a flat-bottomed skillet and pour enough oil to coat bottom.

- In same oil, fry peanuts until they begin to turn brown and remove with slotted spoon to the plate.
- In same oil, fry tofu cubes and poultry cubes.
- Let the poultry and tofu cook until brown (the tofu will be crispy-looking), turning to brown all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour sauce over all.
- Sauce with thicken very quickly, in 30 to 60 seconds. (This is not a runny-sauce dish!)
