  14. Spring Onion Greens for garnishing

METHOD:

Serving Size: 5-6

In a bowl, mix chicken pieces with lemon juice, salt, sugar, 1 tbsp oil, black pepper, red chili sauce, ginger-garlic paste, green chili paste, egg white, and red chili powder. Let it rest for 30 minutes.

Add all-purpose flour, rice flour, corn flour and baking soda to the marinated chicken.

Deep fry the chicken pieces in hot oil until they turn golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok on high heat. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and green chilis. Sauté for 30 seconds until the garlic turns slightly golden and fragrant.

Toss in the onion petals and capsicum. Stir-fry on high heat for 2 minutes. They should be slightly charred but still remain crunchy.

Lower the heat and pour in the sauce mix along with red chili powder and sugar. Stir well to coat the vegetables. Add about 1/2 cup of water for a semi-dry consistency. Bring to a simmer.

Add the fried chicken pieces back into the wok. Toss everything together for 1 minute on high heat until each chicken piece is glazed in the sauce.

If the sauce looks dull, add a teaspoon more of oil or a tiny bit more sugar. This helps create that mirror-like shine.

Turn off the heat and throw in a generous amount of spring onions. Sprinkle white sesame seeds and crushed black pepper on top and serve with fried rice, Hakka noodles or as an appetizer.
