6 servings

  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-size pieces
  • 0.25 cup cornstarch
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 0.5 cup chopped green onion
  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger root
  • 4 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 0.25 cup distilled white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup oyster sauce
  • 0.25 cup ketchup

Instructions

  • Coat chicken pieces with cornstarch in a bowl; set aside.
  • Beat eggs, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until combined. Stir in flour and baking powder until no large lumps remain. Mix in chicken pieces until evenly coated.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Cook chicken in hot oil until golden brown and no longer pink on the inside, about 12 minutes. Set chicken aside; keep warm.
  • Make sauce: Reduce heat to medium-high; add green onion, ginger, and sesame oil to the skillet. Cook and stir until onion is limp and ginger begins to brown, about 1 minute. Pour in water, sugar, and vinegar; bring to a boil.
  • Dissolve cornstarch in soy sauce in a small bowl and stir into vinegar mixture along with oyster sauce and ketchup. Cook until sauce has thickened and is no longer cloudy. Stir in chicken; simmer until heated through.
