Ingredients
•
1 teaspoon chili bean sauce
•
2 teaspoons rice wine

1 teaspoon light soy sauce

1 teaspoon dark soy sauce

2 cups vegetable oil for frying
•
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
Directions
1
Whisk together the chile bean sauce, rice wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, ginger root, green onion, and sugar. Place chicken strips in a large bowl and pour sauce over; refrigerate and allow to marinate for 30 to 40 minutes.
2
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large wok to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
