Servings: persons

1 1/2 lbs boneless chicken, in bite-sized pieces
3 tablespoons good quality soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 egg
1/2 cup cornstarch
oil, for frying
Sauce
1/4 cup cornstarch
3 tablespoons water
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup good-quality soy sauce
3 tablespoons white vinegar
4 red chilies (I get these at the Mexican market, much cheaper! You can use more or less, depending on how hot you)

1
In a zip-top bag, combine marinade and chicken. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes. While marinating, assemble rest of ingredients (except chilies) and combine in a bowl. This step is very important because after you fry the chicken, this recipe moves VERY fast!
2
After marinating, fry chicken and drain. Keep warm.
3
Drain the oil if any is left. Toast the chilies in a drop of oil, being careful not to burn them.
4
Mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl, stirring until the cornstarch is combined; add to the skillet and bring to a boil and reduce heat. Mixture should thicken up a bit.
5
Return the chicken to the skillet and heat through.
