Chinese Recipe : Egg Braised Chicken
|
|
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 12 oz. boned chicken breasts, cut into thin strips about 2inch X 1inch
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp chili sauce
- 2 tbsp dry white wine
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- Vegetable oil for deep frying
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 3/8 cup sesame oil
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- 1 ½ tbsp rice wine
- 1 ½ tbsp soy sauce
- 1 ½ tbsp lemon juice
Directions:
- Sprinkle the chicken strips with the salt, pepper, sugar, chili sauce, wine and cornstarch, rubbing them into the meat with your fingers. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for 1 ½ hours.
- Fill the large saucepan one-third full with oil and heat until it reaches 185°C (360°F) on a deep-fat thermometer.
- Carefully lower the chicken strips, a few at a time, into the oil and fry for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- Put the eggs into a shallow bowl. When the chicken strips have been cooked, dip the strips, one by one, into the eggs and coat thickly.
- Heat the sesame oil in a frying-pan. Add the chicken, strips to the pan, in one layer if possible, and shake and tilt gently to distribute oil evenly. Fry the strips, turning occasionally, for 2 minutes.
- Remove the strips from the pan and arrange them in one later, on a very large serving dish. Sprinkle with the parsley, wine or sherry, soy sauce and lemon juice, and serve at once.
