Yield: 4 servings
 
Ingredients
  ---------------BATTER-------------------  
  4  tb Cornstarch  
  1/4  c Flour  
  1  ts Baking powder  
  1/2  c Water  
  1/2  ts Salt  
  1   Egg  
  1   Egg white  
  2  tb Salt  
  1 1/2  lb Boneless chicken breasts  
    - cut in thin strips  
  2  c Peanut oil, for deep-frying  
  ---------------SAUCE--------------------  
  1 1/2  tb Peanut oil  
  2  ts Chopped ginger  
  3  tb Finely sliced garlic  
  1  ts Salt  
  3  tb Sugar  
  1  ts White rice vinegar  
  1/2  c Water  
  1  ts Cornstarch; mixed with  
  1  ts Water  
 
Instructions
 
  1. MIX THE BATTER INGREDIENTS together in a medium-sized bowl; it should be thick and smooth. Allow the batter to sit, covered for at least 30 minutes. Combine the chicken with the batter. Heat a wok or large deep skillet until it is hot and add the oil for frying. When the oil is barely smoking, deep-fry the chicken for 2 minutes or until the batter is just firm. You should do this in several batches. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

 
  2. TO MAKE SAUCE: Heat a small saucepan; when it is hot, add the oil, ginger and garlic, and stir for 30 seconds. Then add the rest of the sauce ingredients and simmer for 2 minutes. Keep warm. Reheat the oil in the wok until it is very hot, but not smoking. Deep-fry the chicken again until it is golden and crisp, about 1 minute. Remove and drain, place on a warm platter, drizzle with the sauce and serve immediately.
