Step 1
Wash the chicken pieces, drain off the water, and mix evenly with wet starch. Peel the potatoes, cut them into irregular chunks, soak in water for 1 hour, and drain.
Step 2
Heat the wok over high heat, add peanut oil. When the oil reaches medium-hot temperature, add the potatoes and fry until cooked through, then add the chicken pieces and pass through the oil until half-cooked. Pour into a strainer to drain the oil.
Step 3
Sauté the minced garlic, chili flakes, minced onion, and minced ginger until fragrant. Add the curry paste, chicken pieces, and potatoes. Splash in the cooking wine, add broth, salt, MSG, and sugar. Cover and braise until the chicken is cooked through.
Step 4
Thicken with wet starch, add sesame oil and finishing oil, stir well, and serve on a plate.
