Step-by-Step Instructions for Spicy Dragon Chicken
- In a mixing bowl, combine sliced boneless, skinless chicken with egg white, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the chicken is well-coated and then let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully add the marinated chicken in small batches, frying for 4-6 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and pour in a splash of sesame oil. Add minced garlic, ginger, and dried red chilies, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in tomato ketchup, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, vinegar, and sugar, mixing well. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, adjusting the thickness with water if necessary.
- Once the sauce is ready, gently toss the fried chicken into the skillet, coating it well with the sauce.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the Spicy Dragon Chicken to a serving platter. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
