Step By Step
Prep up your meat and debone the breast. Chop it up into bite sized cubes and place it in a bowl.
Prep up the marinade by mixing all the other ingredients together, adding in the dry ingredients first, the 2 spoons of cornstarch, sugar, and pepper, then following up with the wet ingredients, the soy sauce, fish sauce, water, and oil.
Mix it all together until it reaches a light brown color, and let it sit for 10-15 mins.
Now on to cooking, once the marinade has set, oil up that pan and bring the heat up to medium. While that is heating up, add in the 3 other tablespoons of cornstarch to thicken the marinade into a watery batter.
Plop in the chicken let it sit and cook for a minute to fully bond the cornstarch marinade onto the meat so that it wont breakdown when you start to flip and stir up the chicken around during frying.
Cook until the chicken is a nice light brown – golden brown and enjoy! *Heathy Hint! If you want to try a dish that incorporates this recipe, try checking out the “Chinese-Style Fried Rice!”
