step 1

In a small bowl start by beating the Soy Sauce (1/3 cup) and Egg (1) together. Pour over the cubed Chicken Breasts (2) and season with Freshly Ground Black Pepper (to taste). Mix and set aside for 15 minutes.

step 2

Add the All-Purpose Flour (3/4 cup) to the bowl with the chicken and mix thoroughly. In a large pot with Canola Oil (as needed) on high heat, add the floured chicken pieces using a spoon. Make sure to shake off any excess flour before frying. Fry for 3-4 minutes.

step 3

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (93 degrees C).

step 4

Drain the chicken pieces as you remove them and place into a pan. Place into the oven to preserve the heat and crispy texture of the chicken.

step 5

Remove most of the oil from the wok. Add in the Onion (1) and stir fry for 1 minute then remove.

step 6

To the hot wok add the Water (1 cup), Lemon (1), Granulated Sugar (1/2 cup), Soy Sauce (1/4 cup) and whisk everything together.

step 7

In a small born mix the Water (2 Tbsp) and Corn Starch (2 1/2 Tbsp) together then pour into the wok. This will thicken up the sauce.

step 8

Add the cooked chicken and stir fried onions and mix together. Season with Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1/2 Tbsp) and mix once more. Serve with white rice and garnish with Scallions (to taste).
