Ingredients:For chicken
- Chicken breasts – 2
- Corn flour / starch - 1 tsp
- Eggs – 2
- Salt & pepper
- Cooking wine – 1tsp
- Oil for frying
- Corn flour for coating
Ingredients:Seasoning sauce
- Tomato sauce – 3tbsp
- Sugar -2tsp
- White vinegar – 1tsp
- Water
- Teriyaki sauce – 1 tbsp
- Soy sauce – 1 tsp
How to cook:
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon of corn flour. Mix for about two minutes. Rinse the chicken lightly with water to remove the excess starch, then drain well. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Add the eggs, pepper, salt, and cooking wine to the cut chicken pieces. Mix everything thoroughly to combine. Let the chicken marinate for 20-30 minutes.
- While the chicken is marinating, prepare your sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the tomato sauce, sugar, white vinegar, and a splash of water. Next, coat each piece of marinated chicken evenly in corn flour. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Carefully add the coated chicken and fry until each piece is a beautiful golden brown and crispy.
- In a separate pan, add your prepared sauce mixture along with the teriyaki sauce and soy sauce. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it thickens into a glossy, rich consistency.
- Add the crispy, fried chicken pieces to the pan with the thick sauce. Stir until every piece is perfectly coated. Serve immediately over rice or with steamed vegetables for a complete and delicious meal.
