Ingredients
3 - 4 chicken breast, sliced & diced
¾ cup rice flour
½ cup cornstarch
⅓ cup soy sauce
1 ½ tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp grated or minced ginger
1 tbsp paprika
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 eggs
½ cup sparkling water
½ cup soy sauce
¼ cup oyster sauce (or hoisin sauce)
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 ½ tbsp minced ginger
¼ cup honey
2 tbsp rice vinegar
½ tbsp red pepper flakes
handful of Arbol Chilis
Diced or minced green onion for garnish
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, add the diced chicken, rice flour, cornstarch, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, paprika, salt, pepper, eggs, and sparkling water.
Step 2
Using your hands, mix well and make sure everything is coated in the marinade.
Step 3
cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it set in the fridge for 1 hour.
Step 4
After a hour, grab a wok of deep dish frying pot and add neutral oil (vegetable oil), and let it get to a medium high heat.
Step 5
At this point, you can take out the chicken marinade. The marinade should have thickened. Carefully add a few pieces of chicken to the hot oil, making sure not to over crowd. Fry the chicken for about 4-5 minutes. When the chicken floats to the top, remove from the oil and continue to fry the rest of the chicken bites. Remove the oil when done so you can use it to cook the sauce.
Step 6
For the sauce:
Step 1
In a medium bowl, add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, minced garlic and minced ginger, honey, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes.
Step 2
Add the sauce to the cleaned pot and cook on medium heat. Once the sauce begins to boil, turn the heat down and allow the sauce to thicken and simmer for a few minutes. Once the sauce has thickened, add the cooked chicken, arbol chilis, and green onions. Toss in the sauce and serve hot.
