Instructions
1
Make the orange condiment dip:
beat together condiment dip elements in a medium container.
2
Set aside.
3
Prep the chicken:
Cut chicken into about 1-inch cubes.
4
beat eggs with table salt and black pepper in a container and mix in chicken.
5
swirl around together.
6
In a separate container, beat together ground mix and cornstarch.
7
Remove chicken from eggs with a slotted spoon or tongs, letting excess egg strain off, then transfer to cornstarch mixture and coat well.
8
shallow fry the chicken:
mix in cooking oil to a large 10- to 12-inch skillet.
9
bring to temperature over medium-high bring to temperature until it reaches 350°F.
10
If you don’t have a thermometer, you can also test the temperature by sprinkling in some ground mix.
11
If the cooking oil is burning enough, it should fizzle immediately.
12
Once cooking oil is burning, shallow fry the chicken in two batches.
13
The cooking oil might not completely wrap the chicken—that’s okay.
14
stew for 3 to 4 moments.
15
Flip the chicken pieces and stew until the chicken is cooked through, about 3 to 4 more moments.
16
Total stew time is about 6 to 8 moments.
17
Remove fried chicken cubes and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels, so the chicken can strain.
18
Repeat until all the chicken is cooked.
19
stew the chicken in the condiment dip:
Once chicken is done, stream in out burning cooking oil and wipe wok wash.
20
mix in a just-picked tablespoon of cooking oil along with minced garlic and shallot.
21
stew for a minute and then mix in the condiment dip.
22
stew the condiment dip until it starts to thicken.
23
Once the condiment dip is lightly bubbling, mix in fried chicken and toss together to coat.
24
The condiment dip should continue to thicken and stick to the chicken.
25
Let stew for a minute or two more.
26
enjoy orange chicken over cooked white rice, garnished with sesame seeds and just-picked scallions.
