Equipment

  • Wok or frying pan

Ingredients
  

Chicken Marinade

  • 300 g Chicken Breast
  • 2 tablespoon Dark Soy Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic And Ginger Paste
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon White Pepper

Batter and Sauce

  • 100 g Cornflour Add More If Needed (See Notes)
  • 1 Egg White
  • 2 Spring Onions
  • Vegetable Oil For frying

Stir Fry Sauce

  • 3 tablespoon Dark Soy Sauce
  • 4 tablespoon Honey
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha
  • 2 tablespoon Lemon Juice

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Prepare your chicken breast by cutting it into thin strips.
  • Place the chicken into a large mixing bowl and add the marinade ingredients (dark soy sauce, garlic and ginger paste, sesame oil, sugar and white pepper). Leave to rest for at least 10 minutes.
  • Whilst the chicken is resting, add the stir fry sauce (honey, lemon juice, dark soy sauce and sriracha) into a small mixing bowl and leave aside for later use.
  • Add an egg white into the chicken and mix well. Pour the cornflour into the chicken and mix thoroughly until each piece of chicken is coated in cornflour.
  • Heat oil in a wok or frying pan at 180°C and fry the pieces of chicken for 1 to 2 minutes. Once all pieces of chicken are fried, fry the chicken again for 2 to 3 minutes to get it really crispy.
  • In a clean pan add a tablespoon of oil and fry the garlic and ginger paste for 5 to 10 seconds. Add the stir fry sauce ingredients (honey, lemon juice, dark soy sauce and sriracha) and stir for 30 seconds or until thickened.
  • Add the crispy chicken and mix into the sweet chilli sauce until evenly distributed. Sprinkle with chopped spring onions and eat straight away.

Notes

If when adding cornflour to the chicken, it starts to clump together. Separate the chicken pieces and coat them in cornflour individually.
