- 1/4 cup shaoxing wine (Chinese cooking wine)
- 1/4 cup macadamia oil
- 2 brown onions, finely sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, finely sliced

Method
- Put chicken, cornflour and wine in a large bowl and stir to combine. Place into the fridge for 1 hour to marinate.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large wok over a high heat. Stir-fry one-third of the chicken for 2-3 minutes or until meat is browned. Transfer to a plate. Repeat, in 2 more batches, with oil and remaining chicken, reheating the wok in between batches. Set aside.
- Heat remaining oil in the wok and add onion, garlic, ginger and chilli and cook for 2 minutes or until onion begins to brown. Add mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes. Return chicken to wok and stir in macadamias, soy and lime juice and cook until sauce is thickened, then stir in tomatoes, shallots and mint. Serve with rice.
