Ingredients

  • 300 g Chicken thighs
  • ½ Spring onion
  • Green Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 piece Ginger
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • a pinch pepper
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 2 tsp Doubanjiang Fermented chili bean paste
  • 1 tbsp sake
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 3 tbsp potato starch
  • 2 tbsp oil

Instructions

Deep fried chicken

  • Cut the chicken into pieces slightly bigger than bite-sized, then lightly season it with salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle the seasoned chicken with potato starch, then deep-fry in oil at about 170°C. It’s important to not fry them too long, because they will be cooked more in chili sauce later.

Chili sauce

  • Put 2 tablespoons of oil in the pan, then fry the finely chopped spring onion, garlic, and ginger on a low fire.
  • When the garlic and ginger start to become fragrant, add the bean sauce and stir-fry further
  • When the bean sauce has dissolved in the oil, add the ketchup and sake. Fry the ketchup for a more authentic taste.
  • When the ketchup has dissolved in the oil, add the chicken broth, soy sauce, sugar and pepper, and bring to a boil.
  • When the sauce comes to a boil add the potato starch which has been dissolved in some extra water, thickening the sauce.

Finish

  • When the sauce is thick enough, mix in the chicken and let it simmer in there for about 1 minute
  • Add the vinegar last, and dress the dish up by sprinkling the finely chopped green onions on top.
