PREPARATION:
In a bowl, combine the egg white, cornstarch and sherry. Place the chicken in the bowl with the egg white mixture, and coat all of the pieces.
In a wok over high heat, saute the garlic and ginger in the oil for 2 minutes. Do not let the garlic burn. Add the chicken and stir fry on high until cooked, about 5 minutes. Add the vegetables, mushrooms, scallions and both kinds of peppers. Cook until heated, about 3 minutes.
Add the chicken stock, soy sauce, and sugar to the wok and simmer for 5 minutes more.
