Procédé

  • Whisk the marinade ingredients together in a bowl
    1 tablespoon granulated sugar , 4 tablespoons Shaoxing wine , 6 cloves garlic, minced or grated, 4 tablespoons dark soy sauce , 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated or minced
  • Add the chicken and marinate for at least 1 hour
    400 g diced chicken
  • Toss the chicken and marinade with the cornstarch until evenly coated
    70 g cornstarch
  • Fry at 180°C for 45 seconds to 1 minute, depending on the size of the chicken pieces

Notes

  1. Fry in batches: the number of batches will depend on the size of your pot. Since the cooking time is very short, be ready to remove the chicken quickly so it doesn’t burn!
  2. Use chicken thigh meat for the most tender, juicy result. That said, if you marinate the chicken overnight, chicken breast will still develop excellent flavor.
