Return the reserved oil to wok & add Imperial Sauce & hoisin sauce. Cook 1-2 minutes or until thickened slightly. Add nuts, chicken & vegetables, stirring everything together until well coated with sauce. Serve.

Note: Hoisin sauce is pre-packaged, found in Chinese specialty stores. Made from soybeans, flour, sugar, garlic & chili peppers, it is reddish-brown in color & is creamy & sweet. If it's too thick to spread, thin with some sesame oil.
