Ingredients

2 whole chicken breasts, skinned, boned, and cut in half

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon dry sherry

Sauce:

4 tablespoons cornstarch

3 tablespoons water

3 cups chicken broth, homemade or storebought (low-sodium is best)

1 1/2 cups chopped mushrooms (optional)

3 tablespoons chicken fat or butter

2 teaspoons soy sauce

3 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules

Batter:

3 tablespoons cornstarch

3 tablespoons flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 egg, beaten

1 tablespoon water

Remaining Ingredients:

1 cup shredded lettuce

1/3 cup toasted, slivered almonds

1 green onion, finely chopped (green and white parts)

Oil for deep-frying, as needed

Directions

Sprinkle chicken with salt and sherry and marinate for 15 minutes.

While chicken is marinating, prepare the sauce. Mix together the cornstarch and water in a small saucepan until smooth.

Gradually mix in the chicken broth, mushrooms (if using), chicken fat or butter, soy sauce, and bouillon granules.

Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Let boil for 1 minute, and keep warm.

To prepare batter:

Beat together the cornstarch, flour, baking powder, egg, and water until smooth.

Coat each piece of chicken with the batter.

Heat wok or a large skillet and add oil to a depth of 1/2-inch.

Heat to 375 degrees.

Cook coated chicken pieces in oil until they are golden, turning them once. This should take about 5 - 7 minutes.

Drain the chicken on a tempura rack if you have one, or on paper towels.

Cut the chicken diagonally into strips.

Reassemble the strips into chicken breast shapes and place on a bed of shredded lettuce.

Sprinkle with almonds and green onion.

Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve.
