Number Of Ingredients 11

500g skinless, boneless chicken breast cut into 40mm cubes
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup plain flour
1/4 cup cornstarch (corn flour)
1 large egg, beaten
5 tablespoons cold water
your choice of oil for deep frying
Spicy Sweet Chilli Sauce w/ Lemongrass or
Fiery Coconut Chilli Sauce w/Curry & Ginger
Juice of a lemon
Sprigs of fresh coriander (cilantro)

Steps:

Place the chicken in a bowl and sprinkle the soy sauce over it. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Sift together the flour and cornstarch into a bowl. Whisk in the egg and water until smooth. Let the batter stand for 10 minutes. Pour oil to a depth of 50mm into a deep fryer or wok and heat to 180 degrees C over medium heat. Working in batches, dip the chicken in the batter and gently shake off the excess. Deep-fry the chicken, a few pieces at a time, until light golden and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Reduce the heat if the chicken browns too quickly. With a slotted spoon, remove the chicken to drain on paper towels. Cool to warm or to room temperature.
