Categories: Chinese, chicken

Ingredients

• 1 lb. boneless chicken thighs or breast meat, fat and skin removed
• 1/3 cup cornstarch
• 2 eggs, beaten
• Oil for frying (peanut works best, but corn or canola can also be used)
• 2 tsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp sugar (I prefer brown, but white is fine too)
• 2 tsp minced garlic
• 2 tsp minced ginger
• freshly ground pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp crushed red chili pepper

Directions

1. In a large bowl, thoroughly blend the cornstarch and the eggs. Add chicken cubes and mix well.

2. In either a deep-fryer or a large pot, heat oil to 350 degrees and fry the chicken pieces in small batches until golden and fully cooked throughout. Set aside.

3. In a saucepan, mix the remaining ingredients. Cook on medium heat until mixture begins to thicken, then add chicken pieces.

4. Serve with rice and steamed or stir-fried vegetables of your choice.
