Ingredients
- 12 oz (350g) chicken breast cut into thin strips
- oil for deep-frying
- 1 lettuce leaf
- toasted sesame seeds to garnish
Marinade:
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Honey Lemon Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Frying Batter:
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour sifted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken strips with all the Marinade ingredients for 10 minutes. In a large bowl, prepare the frying batter by lightly whisking the egg and mixing in the remaining batter ingredients.
- The batter should be smooth, without lumps or being too runny. Drop the chicken strips into the batter and mix well until they are fully coated. In a separate bowl, mix all the ingredients for the honey lemon sauce thoroughly and set aside.
- Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Gently drop in the battered chicken strips, ensuring they are spread out to prevent sticking together while frying. Deep-fry the chicken strips until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- In a saucepan, gently pour in the honey lemon sauce and bring it to a light simmer. Stir quickly until the sauce bubbles, then remove from heat.
- Place a lettuce leaf on a plate, top it with the chicken strips, and pour the Honey Lemon Sauce over them. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
