For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic for at least 30 minutes before coating it in the batter. Adjust the amount of serrano peppers to your preferred level of spiciness. Garnish with additional fresh cilantro for a pop of color and freshness before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, whisk the egg. Combine the all-purpose flour and 1.5 tablespoons of corn flour, then gradually incorporate them into the egg until you achieve a smooth batter. Season generously with salt and pepper. Dip the chicken pieces into the batter, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Place the battered chicken on a plate in a single layer to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
02
StepHeat a skillet over medium-high heat and add enough vegetable oil to reach a depth of about 1/2 inch. Fry the battered chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. (Cook time: 15-20 minutes)
03
StepIn the same skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Sauté the crushed ginger and garlic until they turn a light golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chopped cilantro and serrano peppers, then reduce the heat to medium-low. (Cook time: 3 minutes)
04
StepIn a separate bowl, blend the chicken stock, soy sauce, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and monosodium glutamate. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the ginger-garlic mixture. Cook and stir until the sauce is heated through, approximately 5 minutes. Add the green bell pepper and cook until it becomes slightly tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. (Cook time: 8 minutes)
05
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the water and 2 tablespoons of corn flour until smooth. Stir this mixture into the sauce in the skillet, ensuring it is fully incorporated. Bring the sauce to a boil, then add the fried chicken. Stir to coat the chicken evenly with the luscious sauce. Serve immediately. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
