List of Ingredients




3 whole boneless chicken breasts

Marinade
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon cooking wine or dry sherry
a few drops of sesame oil
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Sauce
1 cup water
2 heaping tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
4 teaspoons dark soy sauce
2 teaspoons chili paste (or less depending on taste)
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 green onion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

3 1/2 - 4 cups peanut oil for deep-frying




Recipe



Cut the chicken into small, approximately 1-inch cubes. Add the marinade ingredients and marinate the chicken for 20 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the sauce. Mix together all of the sauce ingredients except for the green onion. Pour them into a small pot and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to low and keep warm while you are deep-frying the chicken.
Heat wok and add oil for deep-frying. When the oil is ready, add the marinated chicken pieces a few at a time, sliding them in and being careful not to overcrowd the wok. Deep-fry until golden brown.
Remove the cooked chicken pieces from the wok and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remainder of the chicken.
Just before you are finished deep-frying, bring the sauce back up to a boil. Mix in the green onion.
Place the chicken on a large platter and pour the sauce over. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with rice.
