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.
