Crispy fried shredded chicken and crunchy vegetables tossed with very light sweet, sour and savoury seasoning sauce. This dish is very quick and easy to make at home. If you like spicy, you can add a bit of chilli oil in the stir fry sauce. Serve with steamed rice or stir fry noodles or fried rice would go well with this dish. You can add some green stir fry dish on the side too.

In a small bowl mix all the ingredients from the stir fry sauce list and set aside.
Break one egg white into the the marinated chicken strips. Mix well.
Coat the chicken strips with one cup of corn/potato flour. Make sure all the chicken strips are separated. ( Add more flour if needed ) Toss the excess flour out before frying.
Heat the oil into high heat about 350° F. Add the coated chicken and deep fry for 1-2 mins till crispy golden brown.
Remove from oil and transfer to paper towel or cooling rack.

Dorothy says
DEEEEEEEEEElicious easy too though I ran out of cornflour, but it was still amazing, thank you.
Rccola says
I’ve made this a couple of times now and it’s a huge hit. It’s much better than take out and the ingredients are standard pantry items.
Khin says
So glad that you enjoyed it, Rccola. Thanks for sharing feedback.
Athena says
I've made a lot of your recipes ALWAYS AMAZING. I am on keto now so some are hard to translate. I use baking powder to make my chicken wings crispy, do think that would be possible with recipe?
I'm really missing your recipes lol
Khin says
Hi Athena, for the keto diet, you can coat it with keto-friendly flour like almond flour with a pinch of baking powder. It won't be as crispy as cornstarch or potato starch but you can still create it with the ingredients that you can add.
Kim says
I am allergic to eggs. Can you reccomend a substitute or alternative method?
Khin says
Hi Kim, The purpose of adding an egg is to create a layer to keep the meat soft and tender. Instead of an egg, you can add 2-3 tbsp of water instead.
Rochelle says
I can’t find corn or potato flour. What can I use instead
Khin says
Hi Rochelle, you can use corn starch, potato starch, or sweet potato starch.
Milan says
Is it corn flour or cornstarch?
Khin says
Hi Milan, cornstarch is also called corn flour in some packaging. It is a white colour fine flour and is made from the starch of potato or corn does not mistake it for yellow cornmeal. For this recipe, you can use cornstarch/flour, potato starch/flour, or sweet potato starch/flour. Hope this helps.

Diane T says
Looks delicious! Can u use sweet potato flour instead of corn/ potato flour? Which flour will give the crispiest texture?
Khin says
Hi Diane, definitely you can use sweet potato flour. It's crispier than corn flour. Hope you enjoy this recipe.
