ingredients

2 -3 chicken breasts
1 egg white
2 teaspoons cornstarch
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons hoisin sauce
4 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons rice wine or 2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons wine vinegar
4 garlic cloves

cooked rice
3 tablespoons peanut oil or 3 tablespoons olive oil

directions

Cut up chicken into bite sized pieces.
Whisk the egg white, cornstarch, and salt until light and fluffy then add the chicken.
While the chicken is sitting, in a large deep pan add the hoisin, brown sugar, rice wine, rice vinegar, and chicken stock then let it simmer and reduce.
Now use a food processor or mortar and pestle to really grind up the dried chillies.
In a frying pan add the oil and then the chillies. Once the chillies have cooked for about a minute, add garlic and the chicken mixture.
Cook the chicken until there is no more pink in the center and is thus done.
Add the chicken to the sauce mixture and cook the whole thing until the sauce is sticky.
Serve over cooked rice.
Enjoy!

i'm a 28 year old lab tech who works evenings thus creating unusual eating habits. i eat boring healthy things during the week and (try to ) unleash my creative cooking skills on the weekends. i admit that some nights during the one am or even 2am hr i am drawn to make fantastical food creations which only sometimes taste as good as they sound. i admit, i am a foodie and really do enjoy talking food with people. i hope to one day take real cooking classes and learn how to chop and dice properly. my passion is food but my skill/knowledge level is that of a youngester. Zaar has really opened my eyes to just how many ways there are to make one simple food and that there is a large world outside my betty crocker cookbook
