Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 24

3 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste
3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
3 large egg whites
1 cup water
1 cup cornstarch
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup hot water
¼ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons sweet rice wine
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Whisk egg yolks, soy sauce, cornstarch, salt, and pepper for marinade together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
  • Beat egg whites for coating in a bowl until foamy. Add water, then cornstarch, then flour, mixing completely after each addition.
  • Combine hot water, sugar, rice wine, vinegar, cornstarch, soy sauce, bouillon granules, and salt for glaze in a bowl.
  • Remove chicken from the refrigerator. Dip each piece in coating.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken and cook in small batches until crispy, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove chicken to a plate and drain oil from the wok.
  • Add bell pepper and garlic to the wok and stir-fry until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from the wok onto a separate dish.
  • Add pineapple chunks to the wok. Stir the reserved glaze and pour over pineapple. Simmer until sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes.
