2 cloves garlic, finely minced on microplane or pressed through garlic press
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 quart peanut oil
1/4 cup corn starch
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 scallion, sliced fine, slices stored in ice water until ready to use (optional)

1
Combine chicken, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger in medium bowl and toss until chicken is thoroughly coated in marinade. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes, and up to 8 hours.
2
Heat vegetable oil in large Dutch oven or wok set over high heat until it reaches 350u00b0F. Meanwhile, combine corn starch and flour in medium bowl.
