Why I Love This Recipe
Ingredients You'll Need
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, flattened
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons cornstarch
12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
Cooking oil for deep-fat frying
1 tablespoon cooking oil
3 cups broccoli flowerets
Directions
In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, baking powder,
3/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and flattened garlic;
let stand for 15 minutes. Remove and discard garlic. Meanwhile,
in a small mixing bowl combine honey, 2 tablespoons soy sauce,
vinegar, molasses, 2 tablespoons water, dry sherry, minced
garlic, and cornstarch; set aside. Rinse chicken; pat dry. Cut
chicken into 1 1/2x1/2-inch strips. Add to flour batter.
In a wok or 2-quart saucepan heat 2 inches of oil to 365 degrees.
Remove chicken from flour batter, allowing excess to drain off.
Fry chicken strips, a few pieces at a time, in hot oil for 30-60
seconds, or till golden. Drain on paper towels. Pour 1 tablespoon
cooking oil into a large skillet. (Add more oil as necessary
during cooking.) Preheat over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli
and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or till crisp-tender. Arrange
broccoli around the edge of a serving platter; keep warm. Stir
honey-soy mixture; add to the skillet. Cook and stir till
thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Return
cooked chicken to skillet; heat through. Pour chicken and sauce
into center of broccoli-lined serving platter.
