Instructions
- To make Mandarin Chicken, start by mixing 1 tbsp oil, salt to taste, and an egg in a bowl. Add the chicken cubes and let it marinate for 15 minutes.
- Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl and set it aside.
- Heat ¼ cup oil in a nonstick skillet. While the oil is heating, add the ½ cup of corn flour to the marinated chicken and mix it well, so the chicken is coated in corn flour. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet making sure all the pieces are well spread around the pan.
- Allow the chicken pieces to sear on one side for 2-3 minutes and then flip them and let them sear for another 2-3 minutes. The pieces should have cripsed up well because of the corn flour. Remove them on a plate, making sure they are well spread out and set them aside.
- In the remaining oil in the nonstick skillet, add the minced ginger and garlic and the white part of the sliced spring onions. Allow them to sizzle for a bit and release aroma.
- Next, stir the sauce again and add it to the skillet. Allow it to reduce for a few minutes till it has thickened well. Add sliced bell peppers and fry them for a minute or so. And then add the fried chicken and mix well until the chicken is coated well with the sauce.
- Garnish with spring onion greens and sesame seeds and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
