Ingredients

Chicken breast (cut into strips) 250 g

Fresh orange juice (for thickening) 200 g

Sugar (for seasoning) to taste

Starch (for egg batter and thickening) to taste

Salt (for seasoning) to taste

Egg (mixed with starch and water to form batter) to taste

Oil (for frying) 75 g

Instructions

Cut into Strips and Prepare Batter

Cut the chicken breast into strips. Mix the egg with starch and water to form a smooth batter.

Fry the Chicken Strips

Heat oil in a wok to 40–50% hot. Dip the chicken strips in the egg batter, then fry until golden brown. Remove and drain off excess oil.

Coat with Orange Sauce

In a separate pan, pour in the orange juice, add sugar and salt, stir well and bring to a boil. Stir in a water-and-starch slurry to thicken, then add the fried chicken strips and toss quickly so the glossy sauce evenly coats each strip. Serve immediately.
