Chicken
Lemon sauce
Chicken
Diced up chicken and marinate with light soy sauce and vinegar. Set aside for at least 15 minutes.
Break two eggs into the same bowl and mix well. Add in the flour and corn starch. Mix until you reach a thick paste consistency and there are no lumps (see notes)
Heat up neutral in a cooking pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot enough, add the chicken and fry until golden brown (see notes)
Fry in batches and drain on a paper towel.
Lemon Sauce
Mix all the sauce ingredient in a bowl except for the ginger, garlic and lemon zest.
In a cooking pot, sauté ginger and garlic in 1 tbsp of oil until fragrant.
Pour in the sauce and add lemon zest.
Let the sauce continue cooking for at least 1-2 minutes or until the sauce turns glossy and thickens.
Turn off heat and add the chicken. Coat each chicken with the sauce.
Garnish with sesame seeds and lemon slices. Enjoy!
