Lemon Chicken

Ingredients:

• 10 oz (300g) skinless, boneless chicken breast/thigh, cut into small pieces
• 1/4 cup corn starch plus 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, sifted and combined well
• Oil, for deep-frying
• 1/2 teaspoon white sesame

Marinade:

• 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1/2 tablespoon Shaoxing wine, optional
• 1 tablespoon corn starch

Sauce:

• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 5 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon corn starch
• Pinch of salt, or to taste

Method:

1. Marinate the chicken with the Marinade, for 30 minutes. Mix all the ingredients for the Sauce. Set aside.
2. Coat the marinated chicken with the corn starch and all-purpose flour mixture. Heat up a wok with about two inches of oil. As soon as the oil is fully heated, deep-fry the chicken until golden brown. Transfer the chicken out to a dish lined with paper towels to sock up the excess oil.
3. Add all the ingredients in the Sauce into a small sauce pan and bring it to a quick boil. Transfer the fried chicken into the sauce, stir to coat well with the lemon sauce.
4. Dish out, top with the white sesame, and serve immediately.
