Lemon Ginger Chicken

Hey bloggiee! :)

Yesterday was my last day of work at Chili's and I'm joining my new place as soon as tomorrow. You know what that means? I don't know when can I cook agaaaaaainnnnnn. :/ 

I decided to try making my favourite chinese dish, Lemon Ginger Chicken with some mixed vegetables. It's basically marinated fried chicken with sweet lemon sauce (the cooking method is exactly the same like sweet and sour.)

Here's the ingredients;

MARINADE

- 2 eggs 

- 4 tbsp soy sauce 

- 4 tbsp vinegar

- 2tbsp sesame oil
- 2 lemon zest

These marinade items are enough for one small chicken pieces. Marinade for at least half an hour. 

Mix some adequate amount of corn flour, salt and white pepper. I added some dried parsley as well. 

In the mean time, prepare the following ingredients;

- two small onions, cut into wedges

-about one and half cup of ginger, sliced

- 3 lemon juice, 1 lemon sliced thinly

- 2/3 cup sugar 

- 1 cup chicken stock 

Now let's start! :)

1. Dip the marinated chicken into the corn flour mix and arrange on a tray.

2. Deep fry the chicken until it's golden brown. 

3. Now, you can start preparing the sauce. Saute the onions and ginger in a sauce pot. Add the lemon slices as well.

4. Pour in the lemon juice.

5. Pour in the chicken stock and sugar, let it boil.

6. Lastly, add about 1/4 cup of corn starch as a thickening agent. And your sauce is done! :)

Serve the dish with the lemon ginger sauce poured over the fried chicken. I served it with stir fried mixed vegetables and white rice.
