Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 egg
2 spring onions, finely chopped
5 slices fresh ginger
1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine (Chinese rice wine)
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 clove garlic, crushed
½ teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground white pepper
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
1 cup sweet potato starch
3 tablespoons sweet potato starch
1 quart vegetable oil for frying
2 cups lettuce leaves
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon ground white pepper

Steps:

  • Whisk egg, spring onions, ginger, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, garlic, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon white pepper together in a bowl. Mix in chicken. Let marinate for 20 minutes.
  • Pour 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sweet potato starch into a shallow bowl.
  • Heat oil to 340 degrees F (170 degrees C) in a large saucepan. Dredge chicken pieces in sweet potato starch; drop gently into the hot oil in batches. Cook until golden on the outside and no longer pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon.
  • Arrange lettuce leaves on a large serving plate. Place fried chicken on the lettuce leaves. Mix 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon white pepper together in a small bowl; sprinkle over chicken.

I'm not a big fan of salt and pepper chicken, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and savory. I will definitely be making this again.

I love this recipe because it's so versatile. I can use any type of chicken I have on hand, and I can adjust the heat level by adding more or less chili peppers. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables.
