Total Time 40 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 25 minutes

Yield Serves 4 along with other dishes

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 egg white
½ tbsp potato flour
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp Shaohsing wine or medium sherry
500g boneless chicken thighs , cut into 4cm pieces
50g cornflour
50g plain flour
1 tbsp tomato purée
2 tsp potato flour
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp Chinese rice vinegar
1 tbsp caster sugar
2 tbsp Shaohsing wine or medium sherry
6 Sichuan long dried chillies (if you can’t get hold of these, 1 tsp chilli flakes works well)
1 tbsp groundnut oil
1 inch piece of ginger , peeled and very finely chopped
2 cloves garlic , finely chopped
1l groundnut oil
3 spring onions , finely chopped
3 tsp toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • For the chicken, mix the egg white with the potato flour in a bowl, then add the soy sauce, Shaohsing wine (or sherry) and the chicken. Turn the chicken over to coat it.
  • For the sauce, mix together the tomato purée, 2-3 tbsp water, potato flour, soy sauces, rice vinegar, sugar and Shaohsing wine and set this aside. Snip the chillies into 5cm lengths, discarding the seeds.
  • Heat the oil in a wok and cook the garlic, ginger and chillies over a medium heat until they’re aromatic and beginning to soften, but not brown.
  • Mix the cornflour and plain flour for the coating with salt and pepper and tip into a broad shallow bowl. Working with one piece of chicken at a time, dip it in the flour mix and set the pieces onto a tray.
  • Pour enough oil into a deep pan to come 8cm up the sides. Heat until it reaches 200C (if you drop in a test piece of chicken, it should sizzle straight away). Carefully add half the chicken pieces and fry until they’re crisp and golden – agitating the pieces to make sure they don’t stick together – about 4 mins. Lift the pieces out with a slotted spoon onto a double layer of kitchen paper. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.
  • Heat the wok, add the sauce mixture to the garlic, ginger and chillies in there and cook, stirring, until the mixture bubbles and thickens. Add the chicken and half the spring onions and warm everything through. Serve with the sesame seeds and the rest of the spring onions scattered on top. This doesn’t give you huge servings so it’s best to offer another dish with it, as well as boiled rice.

Total Time 40 minutes

Prep Time 25 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 cups peanut oil for frying
2 eggs
1 teaspoon sesame oil
½ cup cornstarch
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 ½ tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons rice wine
3 tablespoons white sugar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon banana ketchup
2 tablespoons peanut oil
6 dried whole red chilies
½ cup diced onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon orange zest
2 tablespoons minced green onions
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Heat 4 cups of peanut oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl; whisk in 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and the cornstarch. Mix in the chicken until all the pieces are coated with batter. Drop into the hot oil a piece at a time; cook until the chicken is golden brown on the outside and no longer pink on the inside, about 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Stir together the vinegar, wine, sugar, soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and the banana ketchup in a small bowl until smooth; set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Stir in the dried chile peppers and cook for a few seconds until the peppers brighten. Stir in the onion, garlic, and orange zest. Cook and stir until the onion is beginning to brown. Stir in the sauce; bring to a boil before adding the fried chicken. Reduce the heat to medium and stir until the chicken pieces are well coated with the sauce, a few minutes longer. Serve sprinkled with green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
