Ingredients

1 lb. chicken breasts (boneless and skinless) cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1 egg white, beaten frothy
1 cup vegetable oil
3 fried hot chili peppers, broken in half
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 piece ginger root, peeled and finely chopped
1 tbsp. white wine vinegar
1 tbsp. white wine
1 tsp. cornstarch
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. sesame oil
1/4 tsp. salt

Instructions

In a glass bowl, place chicken pieces. Combine 1 tbsp. soy sauce and 1 tbsp. cornstarch. Blend in beaten egg white. Pour over chicken and toss to coat well. Marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour.

In a small bowl, combine remaining soy sauce, vinegar, white wine, and 1 tsp. cornstarch; mix until smooth. Stir in sugar, sesame oil and salt. In a wok heat oil. Deep-fry chicken, a few pieces at a time, about 1 minute, or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towel.

Pour all but 2 tbsp. oil out of wok. To the wok, add chili peppers, garlic and ginger; stir-fry 1 minute. Pour sauce mixture into wok and cook, stirring, about 1 minute, until thickened. Return chicken pieces to wok. Mix well and serve immediately.

I like to serve this with rice and Sauteed Snow Peas and Red Peppers. The chicken is spicy hot with the dried chili peppers, so adjust to your taste. Enjoy!
