Lemon Chicken

My dearest readers, I've been so tired from cleaning up that my body is sore. I had to spend the whole day yesterday taking quick naps in between my usual house chores. Anyway, I still have a lot of recipe post backlogs so  here goes...

Lemon Chicken

Ingredients:

1 1/2kg chicken breast fillet, cut into nugget-size chunks

4tsp light soy sauce

2tsp salt

1/2tsp ground white pepper

2pcs eggs, slightly beaten

1cup cornstarch, for dredging

oil for deep frying

For the Lemon Sauce:

2T lemon juice

1T sugar

2tsp salt

2tsp sesame oil

2tsp cornstarch, dissolved in...

1T chicken stock

1 1/4cups chicken stock

How to do it:

Season chicken with light soy sauce, salt and pepper.

Marinate for at least six (6) hours inside the chiller/refrigerator.

Remove the chicken from the chiller then add the eggs.

Dredge in cornstarch and pat each piece well until covered.

Fry the chicken over medium heat until cooked. Set aside.

To make the sauce, combine all the ingredients (for the sauce) in a saucepan.

Stir constantly over medium heat until sauce thickens.

You may choose to just pour the sauce over the chicken pieces or,

add the chicken pieces while the sauce is still simmering, and toss until well coated.

M says this lemon chicken recipe is great because the lemon sauce is not too overpowering unlike the ready-mix sauce available in supermarkets. 

This dish is great to make if you're running short of time especially during parties. =D
