3/4 cup water
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons white vinegar
3 tablespoons Mirin, sweet rice wine
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon Hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons chili paste with garlic
10 black peppercorns
1 tablespoon oil for veggie stir fry

Recipe



Preparation:

Beat egg in a small bowl and put flour in a separate bowl. Dip the chicken in the egg, then into the flour and fry in oil until light brown. Set aside.

In a bowl combine water, soy sauce, cornstarch, vinegar, Mirin, sugar, Hoisin, chili paste and peppercorns. Note: If you desire a saucier GTC, increase the sauce ingredients by half

Heat the tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet and add the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for a few moments and add the bok choy and peppers. Stir-fry for only a minute, undercooking the veggies.

Add the sauce and stir until thickened then add the chicken to heat through and coat.

Serve on or with rice on the side.
