Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 egg, beaten
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ tablespoons corn flour
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pound chicken, cut into cubes
vegetable oil for frying
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons crushed fresh ginger root
2 tablespoons crushed garlic
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 serrano chile peppers, cut into 1/4-inch pieces, or more to taste
1 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons soy sauce
¼ teaspoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon monosodium glutamate (such as Ajinomoto®)
½ green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
½ cup water
2 tablespoons corn flour

Steps:

  • Beat egg in a large bowl. Mix all-purpose flour and 1 1/2 tablespoons corn flour into egg until batter is smooth; season with salt and pepper. Dip chicken into batter, working in batches, until coated; place on a plate in a single layer so the pieces do not touch.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat; add enough vegetable oil to reach about 1/2-inch depth. Fry battered chicken, working in batches, in the hot oil until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer cooked chicken, using a slotted spoon, to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in skillet over medium heat; cook and stir ginger and garlic until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add cilantro and serrano peppers; reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Mix chicken stock, soy sauce, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and monosodium glutamate into garlic-ginger mixture; cook and stir until sauce is heated through, about 5 minutes. Add green bell pepper to sauce and cook until slightly tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Whisk water and 2 tablespoons corn flour together in a bowl until smooth; stir into sauce until incorporated. Bring sauce to a boil. Add chicken and stir to coat.

I added some chopped vegetables to the sauce, such as bell peppers and carrots. It made the dish even more colorful and nutritious.

I'm allergic to soy, so I used tamari instead of soy sauce. The dish was still very flavorful and delicious.

I made this recipe in a slow cooker and it turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I omitted the chili peppers. The dish was still very flavorful and delicious.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some rotisserie chicken that I needed to use up, and this recipe was perfect. The chicken was so flavorful and the sauce was so good that I didn't even miss the rice.

The chicken was a little dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll add a little more oil to the pan next time.
