INSTRUCTIONS
From "The Garlic Lovers' Cookbook", devised by Kelly Green, Mill Valley, and vastly modified by me...so here is Kelly's (and Doug's) Beat the egg white to a froth, add a little salt, the sherry, corn starch and the chicken pieces, and mix well. If this is too dry, add a little more sherry, if too wet, more cornstarch.Let this marinate in the fridge for up to six hours. Remove it from the fridge, give it a good stir around, and get a wok very hot, add the peanut oil, and when it is just smoking, start stir frying the chicken pieces, removing them when they are browned, and keep them warm.This marinade is called a slippery marinade, by the Chinese, and I use it for any chicken or pork dish which needs to be "deep fried"Dry out the wok, and re-heat with fresh peanut oil and add the garlic, ginger, and the habs,stir frying this continually, and add the vinegar, soy sauce combination...bring this to simmer, and add the reserved chicken pieces, keeping the boiling point up...this should be a sort of glazed covering for the chicken pieces, and should not be too wet. When this is done,serve it with rice or noodles... I devised a noodle dish to accompany this, which will follow in the next post.
