Time 32m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 fresh lime
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 red chile pepper, stem and seeds removed and diced
2 large cloves garlic, lightly crushed with the side of a knife blade and quartered
1 teaspoon peeled fresh ginger root, diced small
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 liter canola oil, or enough as needed to deep fry
1 cup rice flour or all-purpose flour (or enough as needed for dredging)
Salt and freshly round black pepper
1 pound boneless chicken breasts cut into "chicken-finger"-sized strips

Steps:

  • Microwave the lime in a small bowl and set aside until it is just cool enough to handle. In a small bowl, create a slurry by gradually whisking 2 tablespoons water into the cornstarch. Through the feed tube of a running blender add, 1 at a time, the vinegar, chile pepper, garlic, ginger, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Then squeeze the lime from the micro-waved lime through the feed tube into the mixture. Then, leaving the blender running, add the slurry to the sauce, and pour the olive oil in a slow thin stream.
  • Heat the oil in the deep-fryer to 375 degrees F, or as directed by the manufacturer's instructions for similar foods.
  • Season the flour with salt and pepper and dredge the chicken strips, allowing any excess flour to fall away. Deep-fry the chicken and drain on paper towels.
  • Serve with sweet and sour sauce.

This recipe was a disaster. The chicken was raw and the sauce was inedible. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The chicken was overcooked and the sauce was too thick. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices to the sauce.

The chicken was a bit tough, but the sauce was delicious. I would try marinating the chicken for longer next time to make it more tender.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the sauce.

I made this dish for my family and they enjoyed it. The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I will try to adjust the cooking time next time to get the chicken more tender.
