Instructions
- Cut 300 g chicken breast into large bitesize pieces and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle with 1 pinch salt, 1 pinch white pepper powder and ½ tbsp sake. Mix thoroughly.
- Add 1 egg white to the bowl and save the yolk(s) for later. Mix until the chicken is fully covered.
- Add 1 tbsp potato starch and mix again until the chicken pieces are coated.
- Pour ½ tbsp cooking oil into the bowl and mix once more, then rest for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Take a small bowl and mix all of the sauce ingredients together. (3 tbsp water, ½ tbsp light brown sugar, 2 tbsp tomato ketchup, 1 tbsp sake, 1 tsp Chinese-style chicken bouillon powder (granules), ½ tsp dashi granules) Set by the stove for later.
- Heat a large pan or wok over medium heat and add 1 tsp cooking oil. Once hot, add the chicken and fry until browned on both sides. Once there is no more pink, transfer the chicken to a plate and set by the stove for later.
- In the same pan, add a little more oil along with ½ Japanese leek (naganegi), 3 garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp ginger (all finely diced). Fry until fragrant.
- Add ½ tbsp chili bean sauce and mix well. Heat for 1 minute to release its flavor.
- Add the prepared sauce from earlier and heat until gently bubbling.
- Add the chicken back to the pan along with 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp toasted sesame oil, ½ tbsp chili oil and 2 tbsp green peas.
- Cook until the ingredients are warmed through and the sauce is thick and glossy, then remove the pan from the heat.
- Take a new pan and heat on low. Melt ½ tbsp unsalted butter. Crack 1 egg into a bowl and add 1 egg yolk (leftover from earlier). Whisk and pour it into the pan. Mix continuously until cooked to your liking and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the scrambled egg and tori chili on the same plate and sprinkle with finely chopped green onions to garnish. Best served with white rice. Enjoy!
