Coat large wok or heavy skillet with oil. Heat over medium-high heat until oil begins to sizzle. Lift chicken pieces from egg white mixture, letting excess drip back into bowl.

Whisk 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 cooked chicken pieces and heat, stirring constantly, until chicken and vegetables are glistening and mixture is hot. Drain pasta; place on large serving platter. Top with chicken/vegetable mixture.
