Ingredients
- Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into large cubes
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 eggs
- 4 tbsp cornflour
- White sesame seeds, for garnish
Honey Lemon Sauce:
- ¼ cup of water
- ¼ cup of honey
- 2 tbsp tomato sauce
- 1 tsp 5 spice (optional)
- ¼ tsp sesame oil
- Juice of 1 lemon and zest of ½ lemon
Method
- Whisk together the eggs and soy sauce. Toss the chicken with the soy and egg and marinate for 20 minutes.
- For the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small pot and bring to boil. Then turn down to a low heat and simmer until it thickens.
- Add the cornflour to the chicken and mix through until there are no lumps.
- Heat oil in a wok to 180°C. Carefully place chicken pieces one by one into the oil and deep fry in batches until golden brown. Drain chicken pieces on paper towel or a rack then place in a bowl with the sauce and toss until well coated and glistening. Place in a shallow bowl and sprinkle over sesame seeds and a little extra sesame oil.
