Servings: persons

4 cups vegetable oil for frying
3 eggs
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
5 dried red pepper pods
1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons rice wine
3 tablespoons white sugar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
3 green onions, thinly sliced

1
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2
Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup of cornstarch until no lumps remain, then mix in the chicken until evenly coated in batter.
3
In batches, carefully drop the chicken cubes into the hot oil one by one, cooking until the chicken turns golden brown and begins to float, about 3 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
4
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Stir in the dried peppers, and cook for about 30 seconds until the color brightens. Add the chicken, and cook for a few minutes until the chicken turns a deep, golden brown. Stir the vinegar, rice wine, sugar, soy sauce, and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch together in a small bowl. Pour into the wok, and boil until the sauce thickens and is no longer cloudy, about 2 minutes. Garnish with green onions to serve.
