Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 4 scallions, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • peanut oil, for frying
  • Dipping Sauce
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 scallions, chopped finely
  • 1 tablespoon flour

Method

  • Combine ingredients-chicken through pepper- and mix well. Pour about 1/2" peanut oil in a heavy skillet. Heat to medium high heat. Drop chicken mixture by teaspoonfuls into hot oil. Reduce heat to medium-low and fry the chicken bites for 5 to 6 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
  • In a small saucepan, saute scallions in the sesame oil for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer until flavors are incorporated. Simmer for about 5 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and stir well. Adjust seasonings to taste. If the mixture is too thick, add a little hot water to make desired consistency.
