Directions

1Cut the boneless chicken thigh into 1 inch pieces.
2Prepare General Tso’s sauce by adding all the items mentioned. Mix well with a whisk, ensuring no lumps and the corn flour and sugar dissolve.
3Marinate the chicken with 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper powder, and 2 tbsp of the prepared General Tso’s sauce. Mix and set aside for 30 minutes.
4Add whisked egg white to the marinated chicken and mix well.
5In a glass container, add all purpose flour, corn flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
6Take out the chicken pieces, without the liquid, and add 4-5 pieces in batches to the dry batter mix.
7Toss the chicken pieces to coat them completely in the dry mix.
8Heat oil in a pan for deep frying on medium heat. Drop the chicken pieces side by side to avoid crowding.
9Do not stir for 1 minute. Then flip, stir, and fry on medium heat for 4-5 minutes until light golden.
10Remove and repeat for the remaining chicken.
11Heat oil in a wok. Add finely chopped ginger, garlic, and red chili flakes.
12Mix and sauté for 1 minute, then add the General Tso’s sauce.
