Sauce:
In a small bowl combine 1 tablespoon wine, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon cornstarch/water mixture, chili paste, vinegar and sugar. Mix together and add green onion, garlic, water chestnuts and nuts. In a medium skillet, heat sauce slowly until aromatic.

Cooking Tips
For a deeper nut flavor roast the nuts at 250°F for 5 minutes or until browned or pan roast with a skillet and hot oil until browned.
