You will need the following ingredients:
- 500g of boneless chicken thighs or breasts (should be enough for about three servings)
- One medium size onion (chopped)
- Two red chilli peppers (sliced)
- Two green chilli peppers (sliced)
- Three cloves of garlic (minced)
- One tablespoon of minced fresh ginger
- One tablespoon of dried chilli flakes
- Two egg whites
- One cup of corn flour and half a cup of regular flour
- One chicken bouillon (optional)
- Three tablespoons of soy sauce
- Two tablespoons of oyster sauce
- One tablespoon of honey
- One tablespoon of rice vinegar
- Half a cup of water
- one teaspoon of corn flour
STEPS
First of all, wash you chicken and slice them into bits. You can also marinate your chicken with a little bit of lemon juice for 10-15 minutes and rinse it afterwards to avoid that chicken smell . Once that is done, drizzle in about a tablespoon of soy sauce, oyster sauce and add in half of the minced ginger to the chicken and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. Once the chicken is done marinating, add in the egg whites, corn flour and regular flour, mix everything together till you have something like this,
Once that is done, in a separate bowl, add in the three tablespoons of soy sauce, two tablespoons of oyster sauce, one tablespoon of rice vinegar, one tablespoon of honey, half a cup of water, one teaspoon of cornstarch and mix all together, like so,
Now set that aside and let’s get back to the chicken again!
Heat up your pan with about a cup of vegetable oil, once it’s hot, start adding your chicken bit by bit, they might stick together so use your spatula to separate them and fry until golden brown. So we are going to double fry this chicken, after frying them the first time around, you will fry them again a second time just to make them extra crispy, like so,
Once this is done also set it aside and let’s proceed to making the spicy sauce it will go into!
Heat up your pan or wok with about three tablespoons of vegetable oil, add in the dry chilli flakes to infuse the oil first and give it that Smokey chilli flavor and then add in the rest of the chopped veggies and stir fry. After this you can add in the chicken bouillon if you wish and then finally add in your soy sauce mixture! Let the sauce thicken up a bit before adding in your chicken and then stir fry till everything is well coated and voila! You are done!
You can serve this with some delicious pasta, rice or noodles! I served mine with some lovely tagliatelle and it was absolutely delicious!
I really do hope you give this recipe a try and enjoy!☺️
