- Trim ends off green onions and cut light green and white part into 1" sections. Mix all remaining sauce ingredients in 2-qt saucepan.
- Reserve.
- Pull skin off breasts, then pull chicken meat from bones. Slice meat into
- 1" strips, then crosswise to make 1" chunks. In bowl large sufficient to hold chicken, add in egg white to water chestnut flour. Beat mix with a single
- chopstick (not an egg beater or possibly whisk). Stir chicken pcs into egg mix to coat thoroughly. Marinate 5 min.
- Note: water chestnut flour
- gives a lighter crust than cornstarch, though the latter may be substituted.
- Deep-frying: Heat veg. oil in wok or possibly deep-fryer to medium heat
- (you'll need more oil for deep-fryer). Fry peanuts till they are a light tan color; if a test peanut browns quickly, turn down heat. Remove peanuts
- with strainer or possibly slotted spoon; drain on paper towel or possibly paper bag.
- Reserve.
- Turn up heat slightly for chicken. Test a chunk first: chicken should raise to surface immediately & brown in about 2 min. Deep-fry coated chicken chunks till golden. Deep-fry no more than 8 chunks at a time. Use long chopsticks or possibly spatula to keep pcs separate while they are frying. Remove with long chopsticks or possibly slotted spoon. Reserve.
- Sauce: While deep-frying chicken, heat sauce to simmer. Add in green onions
- & peanuts about a minute before serving. At the last minute, add in chicken pcs to sauce, mix quickly & serve.
