Ingredients:

  • 4 tblspn corn flour ( corn starch)
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1 large onion - sliced thinly
  • 2 tblspn grated ginger - see note
  • sauce ingredients . - to be mixed together
  • 2 tsp soya sauce

  • note
  • i happened to have a bag of chicken thighs in the freezer, so wanted to use what i had on hand. i cut most of the meat from the thighs, leaving some on the bone & cut the meat into chunks. i used the meaty bones in the recipe also. i used enough to make the 1 kg.
  • i did not have fresh ginger on hand so i used 1 tsp ginger paste instead & mixed it into the sauce ingredients.
  • i had found a jar of the ginger paste in the ethnic section at super store previously. i find it very handy. for me the 1 tsp was more than enough for the ginger flavor.

Directions:

  1. Wash the chicken pieces & pat dry.
  2. Put the corn starch into a plastic bag & add the chicken.
  3. Shake well to coat. Set aside
  4. Heat oil in a wok.
  5. Shake off any excess corn starch & add chicken to oil, first over medium high heat & then lower heat to medium.
  6. Fry til golden & cooked through, cooking in 2 batches if needed
  7. Drain well & set aside.
  8. Spoon off 1/2 of the oil & add the onion, garlic & ginger to the remaining oil.
  9. Stir fry until the onion is transparent
  10. Add the chicken & toss in the onion mixture & then add the sauce ingredients.
  11. Stir fry until the sauce has thickened
  12. Transfer to a serving platter & garnish with spring onions.
  13. ENJOY
