Instructions

  1. SAUCE: In a bowl, add 2 Cups of water, 2 Tablespoon soy sauce, 2 Tablespoon white vinegar, sherry cooking wine, 1/4 Teaspoon white pepper, minced ginger, minced garlic, hot pepper, ketchup, hoisin sauce, and sugar. Mix together well and set aside.

  2. MARINATING THE CHICKEN: In a bowl, add the chicken, 1 pinch of salt, 1 pinch of white pepper, 2 egg whites, and 3 Tablespoon of corn starch.

  3. DEEP FRY THE CHICKEN: Deep fry the chicken at 350 degrees for 3-4 minutes or until it is golden brown and loosen up the chicken so that they don't stick together. Set the chicken aside.

  4. STIR FRY: Add the sauce to the wok and then the broccoli and wait until it is boiling. To thicken the sauce, whisk together 2 Tablespoon of cornstarch and 4 Tablespoon of water in a bowl and slowly add to your stir-fry until it's the right thickness. Next add in the chicken and stir-fry for a minute and serve on a plate.
