   Remove chicken meat from bones in large pieces.  Shred
   meat into 1- inch long pieces.  You should have 2 cups.
   
   In a large kettle or saucepot, start cooking pasta in
   boiling water following package directions for al
   dente stage.
   
   While pasta is cooking, whisk together egg whites with
   3 tablespoons of the cornstarch and the garlic in
   medium bowl.  Add the chicken shreds; toss to coat.
   Let stand for 5 minutes.
   
   In another bowl, smooth the remaining 2 tablespoons
   cornstarch with part of the water.  Stir in remaining
   water, vinegar, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes; set
   aside.
   
   Coat a large wok or heavy skillet with the oil.  Heat
   over medium- high heat until the oil begins to sizzle.
   Lift chicken pieces from egg white mixture, letting
   excess drip back into bowl.  Stir-fry until golden
   brown, about 5 minutes.  Lift out with slotted spoon
   to paper towels. Wipe out wok or skillet.
   
   Place wok over medium heat.  Whisk the reserved
   cornstarch/soy mixture again and pour into wok.  Bring
   mixture just to a boil.  Add mushrooms and onions.
   Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, about
   3 minutes. Add the cooked chicken pieces and heat,
   stirring constantly, until chicken and vegetables are
   glistening and mixture is hot.
   
   Drain pasta and place on a large serving platter.  Top
