Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tsp soy sauce
2 1/2 tbsp white vinegar
6 tsp rice wine or 6 tsp dry sherry, divided
1 cup chicken broth
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into bite size pieces
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp garlic, minced
3 -6 red pepper pods, dried and hot
1/4 cup sesame seeds

Directions:

In medium bowl, combine sugar, 1/4 cup of the soy sauce, vinegar, 4 teaspoons of the rice wine, and chicken broth. Whisk to blend and set aside.
In separate bowl, combine chicken pieces, remaining 2 teaspoons soy sauce, and remaining 2 teaspoons rice wine.
Marinate chicken at room temperature, about 30 minutes.
Add egg whites and cornstarch and stir until well blended.
In wok, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, in 3 batches, until golden on all sides, about 3 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towls. Cover with foil to keep warm.
Discard all but 2 tablespoons drippings from wok and reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and pepper pods and cook, stirring frequently, until peppers blacken, about 1 minute.
Add reserved soy sauce mixture, increase heat to medium-high, and cook until sauce thickens, about 15 minutes. Add reserved chicken and sesame seeds and stir until coated.
Serve with rice and top with green onions (optional).
