Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g chicken breast
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and the egg to the chicken. Mix well until evenly coated. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
In a shallow bowl, combine cornstarch and flour. Dredge the marinated chicken in the mixture until well-coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or wok to 180°C (350°F). Fry the chicken in batches until golden and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, ketchup, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
Let the sauce cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened.
Add the crispy chicken to the saucepan and toss to coat the pieces evenly in the sauce.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the chicken and toss again for even distribution.
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
