  • 300 g chicken breast cut into strips
  • 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp garlic-ginger paste
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp white pepper
  • 100 g cornstarch adjustable
  • for frying vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp dark soy sauce for the sauce
  • 4 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp garlic-ginger paste for the sauce
  • 2 green onions chopped

Equipment

  • Wok or Deep Skillet
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Tongs or Slotted Spoon
  • Paper Towels for draining

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, toss the chicken strips with dark soy sauce, garlic-ginger paste, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Whisk the egg white into the marinated chicken until well combined, then dust each piece generously with cornstarch.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or skillet to 180°C (350°F) and fry the chicken in two stages: first for 1-2 minutes, then again for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  4. In a clean pan, sauté the garlic-ginger paste in a little oil until fragrant, then stir in dark soy sauce, honey, sriracha, and lemon juice and let simmer for 30 seconds.
  5. Toss the fried chicken in the sauce until well coated and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve hot.

Notes

For optimal crispiness, try double frying the chicken.
Store leftovers separately from the sauce to maintain texture; reheat in the oven for best results.
Feel free to adjust the spice level in the sauce to suit your taste.
