Difficulty: easy

Yield: 2 persons

Ingredients

For the chicken

• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite sized pieces
• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon shaoxing wine
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• neutral high heat oil to deep fry

For the orange sauce

• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
• orange zest, to finish

Instructions

Marinate the chicken with the egg white, soy sauce, and shaoxing wine for 15 minutes. When done, mix in the cornstarch so that everything forms a loose batter.

Prepare the sauce by mixing all the ingredients. Set aside.

Use a pair of tongs to gently add the chicken to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to crowd the pan. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-6 minutes, flipping as needed.

Add the sauce. Toss throughly to coat and enjoy immediately.

Serve with rice.
