Equipment

  • Deep Pan

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine cornflour, all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, ginger powder, and red chili powder. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and then add water to create a smooth batter.
  3. Step 3: Dip the chicken pieces into the egg mixture, ensuring they are well coated, then transfer them to the flour mixture and coat thoroughly.
  4. Step 4: Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully fry the chicken pieces in batches until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them and let them drain on paper towels.
  5. Step 5: In another pan, heat a little oil and sauté the sliced onion, bell pepper, and green chilies until they are slightly softened.
  6. Step 6: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar. Pour this mixture into the pan with the sautéed vegetables and let it cook for a couple of minutes.
  7. Step 7: Add the crispy chicken to the pan, tossing everything together to ensure the chicken is well coated with the sauce and veggies.
  8. Step 8: Garnish with chopped spring onions and serve hot. Enjoy the delightful crunch with every bite!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven for a few minutes to regain their crispy texture.
