Ingredients

4 whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/2 cup cornstarch

1/2 tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

1/4 cup water

4 egg yolks, lightly beaten

Vegetable oil for frying

4 green onions, sliced

1 1/2 cups water

1/2 cup lemon juice

3 1/2 T brown sugar

3 T cornstarch

3 T honey

2 tsps instant chicken bouillon granules

1 tsp minced fresh ginger

Directions

Cut chicken breasts in half. Pound with mallet or rolling pin to flatten slightly.

Combine cornstarch, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Gradually blend in water and egg yolks.

Heat oil in wok or large skillet over high heat to 375 degrees. Dip chicken breasts, one at a time, into cornstarch-egg yolk mixture. Cook chicken breasts, two at a time, until golden, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Keep warm while cooking remaining chicken.

Cut each breast into three or four pieces and arrange on serving plate. Sprinkle with onions.

For sauce, combine all sauce ingredients in medium saucepan; mix well. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sauce boils and thickens, about 5 minutes. Pour over chicken.
