Ingredients
  

  • 300 g chicken breast, cut into strips
  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon garlic-ginger paste
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 egg white egg white
  • 100 g cornstarch (adjustable)
  • vegetable oil for frying vegetable oil for frying
  • 3 tablespoons dark soy sauce (for sauce)
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic-ginger paste (for sauce)
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Wok or Deep Frying Pan
  • Tongs or Slotted Spoon
  • Measuring Spoons and Cups

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, toss the chicken strips with dark soy sauce, garlic-ginger paste, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper. Marinate for at least 10 minutes (30 minutes for more flavor).
  2. Add the egg white to the marinated chicken and mix well. Coat each strip with cornstarch evenly.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a pan or wok to 180°C (350°F) and fry the chicken in two stages: first for 1-2 minutes, then again for 2-3 minutes for a crispy texture.
  4. In a clean pan, heat a splash of oil and sauté garlic-ginger paste until fragrant. Add soy sauce, honey, sriracha, and lemon juice. Simmer for 30 seconds until thickened.
  5. Toss the fried chicken in the sauce until coated, then sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispiness, pat the chicken dry before marinating.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
You can substitute dark soy sauce with light soy sauce for a milder flavor and replace honey with maple syrup for a vegan option. Enjoy customizing this delicious recipe!
