Directions

Chicken Marinade

Whisk the soy sauce, Shaoxing wine and egg yolk together in a large bowl. Add the chicken and let marinate for 30 minutes or longer.  

Rice

Add the rice to a bowl and fill with cold water. Rub the rice together with tour hands to remove starches and drain. Repeat 3-4 more times. Pour the rice into a sieve to remove water and pour into a medium sized sauce pan. Add 4 cups of water, the salt, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover & cook until all of the water is absorbed. Remove from heat, let cool and fluff with a fork.  

Sweet & Sour Sauce

Pulse the pineapple and pineapple juice together in a blender until smooth. Add to a small sauce pan with the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil over medium temperature. Cook for 20 minutes until the sauce becomes syrupy. Remove from heat.  

Fried Chicken Bites

Whisk the flour, corn starch, salt & pepper together in a large bowl.  Add the chicken and toss to coat.  

Heat the peanut oil in a wok over high heat. At the the first wisp of smoke, add 1/2 of the chicken and cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes, depending on size. Remove chicken with a mesh skimmer or slotted utensil, place onto a large plate and lightly season with salt. Repeat with the other 1/2 of chicken. Wipe out the pan and place back on the burner. 

Sautéed Vegetables & Pineapple

Add the oil to the wok over high temperature. At the first wisp of smoke, add the vegetables, pineapple and season lightly with salt & pepper. Toss often until the vegetables are blistered and tender to your liking. Add the chicken back, the sauce, pepper flakes and toss. Remove from heat and pour into a serving bowl or platter. Finish with chopped cilantro & green onions. Serve with rice and chili garlic sauce. Serves 4.
