DOUBLE LEMON CHICKEN
The universally loved crispy chicken - from Austrian schnitzel to Korean fried chicken to the westernized lemon chicken that you'd get at your local Chinese restaurants - is found in multiple corners of the world, and is therefore served on many tables. That lemon chicken is the inspiration for this dish, where a sweet lemony sauce coats crispy fried chicken pieces. This Middle Eastern version uses a cheater's preserved lemon paste and plenty of fresh lemon to brighten it up. You'll make a little more preserved lemon paste than you need; use it for salad dressing, toss it with roasted vegetables, or swirl it into soups. Serve this dish with some lightly cooked greens and plain white rice.

Steps:
- Prepare the chicken: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg whites, soy sauce, cornstarch (cornflour), 1/2 teaspoon salt and a good grind of pepper just until there aren't any lumps, about 30 seconds. Working one breast at a time, place the chicken between 2 pieces of parchment paper and use a meat mallet (or the bottom of a pan) to pound the chicken evenly so it's a scant 1/2-inch/1-centimeter thick. Transfer to the egg white bowl and continue with the remaining. Stir everything together gently to coat, and refrigerate to marinate for at least an hour (or overnight if you're getting ahead).
- Meanwhile make the preserved lemon paste: Add all the ingredients to a small, lidded saucepan set over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the rinds start to look translucent and the juice has reduced by about half. Set aside to cool slightly, then transfer everything to a small food processor and blitz until you have a smooth, spreadable paste. (You should have about 1/4 cup.) Set aside 3 tablespoons for the sauce, then store the rest in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.
- Make the sauce: Add the 3 tablespoons preserved lemon paste, the stock, butter, garlic, sugar, turmeric and half the cumin to a medium saucepan, then place it over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, until reduced by about a third. Measure out roughly 3 tablespoons of the sauce into a small bowl, then add the cornstarch (cornflour) and whisk until there are no lumps. Whisk this back into the sauce pot and cook for 1 minute, whisking continuously, until smooth and thickened slightly. Remove from the heat.
- Heat the oil in a large high-sided frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once hot (a sprinkle of cornstarch dropped into the oil should sizzle right away), fry two of the chicken breasts for 3 minutes per side, or until nicely browned and just cooked through. It should release easily from the skillet with a little help from a metal spatula. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and continue with the remaining 2 breasts. It might spit, so turn down the heat if needed. Wipe out the frying pan, add the sauce and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add back all the chicken breasts and cook for just 3 minutes, gently turning them halfway. Remove from the heat and stir in the 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
- Transfer the chicken breasts (cut them into strips, if you like) to a large serving platter with a lip and pour the sauce all over. Sprinkle with the remaining cumin. In a small bowl, toss together the spring onion, cilantro and remaining 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and spoon this all over.

Steps:
- Sift cornstarch and sugar to keep it from lumping and then combine with salt and boiling water.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until boiling and clear, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in remaining ingredients.
- Keep warm till ready to serve.
Tips:
- To achieve a smooth and lump-free sauce, whisk the cornstarch and sugar together in a small bowl before adding it to the saucepan. This will help prevent any clumps from forming.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice can be used, but it will not have the same bright, citrusy flavor as fresh juice.
- If you don't have a lemon zester, you can use a fine grater to remove the zest from the lemon. Be sure to grate only the yellow part of the lemon, as the white pith is bitter.
- Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the sweetness and tartness to your liking. You can add more sugar or lemon juice as needed.
- This sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat it over low heat until warmed through.
Conclusion:
Lemon sauce is a versatile and delicious sauce that can be used to enhance a variety of dishes. It is perfect for drizzling over pancakes, waffles, French toast, and ice cream. It can also be used as a glaze for roasted chicken or fish, or as a dipping sauce for fruit or cookies. With its bright, citrusy flavor, lemon sauce is sure to add a touch of elegance to any meal.
