Ingredients:
6 to 8 tablespoons mild-flavored honey |
5 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest |
2 teaspoon lemon pulp |
2 tablespoons plum sauce |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon white pepper |
3/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, butterflied |
1/4 cup cornstarch |
1/3 cup cooking oil |
1/2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon water |
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds |
Directions:
1. Make the sauce by whisking the honey, lemon juice, zest and pulp together in a small bowl until blended. Stir in the plum sauce, pour into a small saucepan; set aside.
2. In a small bowl, combine egg with the salt and white pepper. Lightly coat the chicken with the cornstarch; dip into the egg mixture and coat in the cornstarch again. Let it stand for 5 minutes. Shake off the excess cornstarch prior to cooking.
3. In a wok, heat the oil until hot. Cook the chicken, a couple pieces at a time, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
4. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat; add the cornstarch solution and cook, stirring, until the sauce boils and thickens.
5. Cut the chicken across the grain into 1/2-inch slices. Place the chicken on a serving plate. Pour the sauce on top and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
