1 tsp chicken base
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sesame oil
ground white peppers, to taste
1/4 tsp sugar
1 Tbsp rasberry wine,or any fruity wine

1/2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 c water, or as much needed to make the batter smooth
3 Tbsp cornstarch
salt to taste
1 Tbsp vegetable oil

Steps:

1. Cut chicken breast into 1" chunks in a glass bowl. Combine all of the marinade ingredients and mix well.
2. Add the chicken and coat evenly. Cover and marinade for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

4. Remove chicken from marinade. Dip into batter, be sure to coat evenly.
5. Deep fry the chicken in batches for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
6. Combine sauce ingredients and warm over medium heat. Bring to a boil while stirring. Simmer until sauce slightly thickens.
7. Coat chicken with sauce and garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds.
