Mix all ingredients for "cooking sauce" and set aside.
Heat wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 T. oil, then add chicken and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
Add oil to the pan if needed. Stirfry onion, then mushroom, then add ginger, garlic, stir-fry for a minute or so. Add water chestnutsl stir-fry an additional 2 minutes. Return chicken to the pan. Add mixed cooking sauce to the pan. Cook until thickened and hot. Break cooked cellophane noodles into small pieces and cover bottom of serving dish with them if using...we also topped it with a few chopped peanuts. Cilantro would be good too. Then pour chicken mixture on top of noodles. Scoop into lettuce wraps, or stand over stove and eat with a spoon! :)
