Ingredients
- For the Chicken:
- 300g Chicken Breast
- 100g Cornflour (Add more if needed, see notes)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic And Ginger Paste
- 1 Egg White
- 2 Spring Onions
- Vegetable Oil
- Chicken Marinade:
- 2 tablespoon Dark Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Garlic And Ginger Paste
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon White Pepper
- Stir Fry Sauce:
- 3 tablespoon Dark Soy Sauce
- 4 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 2 tablespoon Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Preparation:
- Cut the chicken breast into thin strips.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken with the marinade ingredients (dark soy sauce, garlic and ginger paste, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper). Leave to rest for at least 10 minutes.
- Sauce Preparation:
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the stir fry sauce ingredients (honey, lemon juice, dark soy sauce, and sriracha) and set aside for later use.
- Coating:
- Add an egg white to the marinated chicken and mix well.
- Gradually add the cornflour, mixing thoroughly until each piece of chicken is coated.
- Cooking:
- Heat oil in a wok or frying pan to 180°C and fry the chicken pieces for 1 to 2 minutes. After all pieces are initially fried, fry them again for 2 to 3 minutes to achieve extra crispiness.
- Sauce & Final Touches:
- In a clean pan, heat a tablespoon of oil and briefly fry the garlic and ginger paste for 5 to 10 seconds.
- Add the prepared stir fry sauce, stirring for 30 seconds or until it thickens.
- Add the crispy chicken to the sauce, mixing until evenly coated.
- Finish by sprinkling chopped spring onions on top. Serve immediately.
Notes
- If the cornflour starts to clump when adding to the chicken, separate the pieces and coat them individually for an even layer.
