Ingredients
For the chicken
- 500 g (1lb) chicken breasts
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup cornstarch / cornflour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- oil for frying (canola/sunflower)
For the sauce
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves crushed
- 2 tbsp honey
- pinch of chilli flakes
- 2 tsp cornstarch / cornflour
To serve
- noodles cooked and drained
- spring onion / scallions chopped
- coriander / cilantro
Instructions
- Cut chicken into bite-size chunks.
- Whisk the flour, cornstarch and salt together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and 1 tablespoon soy sauce together.
- Coat the chicken first in the flour then in the egg and again in the flour, pressing the flour onto the chicken to make sure it's well covered.
- Heat oil in a deep pot (I used 6 cups of oil). The oil is hot enough when a wooden chopstick sizzles when pushed to the bottom of the pot.
- Carefully add the chicken and allow to fry until the chicken is golden brown, crisp and cooked through, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and allow to drain on a wire rack set over a sheetpan.
- While the chicken fries, make the sauce. Combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, chilli flakes and garlic and whisk together. Pour into a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
- Cook for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened. The sauce should have a syrupy consistency but not be too thick. If the sauce is very thick, add a few tablespoons of water and stir through.
- Toss the chicken and cooked, drained noodles with the sauce. Scatter over spring onions and serve with coriander/cilantro.
