Lemon & Ginger Chicken

I got this very special recipe and have tried to make this ez-licious lemon & ginger chicken few times already.  Of course I have adjusted the original recipe to suit our local taste... :)

You will need:-
2 whole chicken breasts
3 egg whites
1 1/2 tablespoons cornflour
Oil for deep frying

SAUCE:-
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 cup water
2 chicken stock cubes
1 teaspoon grated green ginger
1 inch green ginger
1 tablespoon cornflour
1 tablespoon water, or extra
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons sugar
1 shallot

Method:-

  1. Skin chicken breasts, remove meat from bones, cut meat into 5mm (1/4in) strips.
  2. Combine lightly beaten egg whites and cornflour, add chicken strips, mix well.  Heat oil in wok or pan, add chicken strips, fry until golden brown.  Drain on absorbent paper.  Remove excess oil from pan, reserve one tablespoon.  Place chicken on serving plate, keep warm.
  3. Peel and thinly slice ginger.  Combine lemon juice, water, crumbled stock cubes, grated ginger, honey and sugar in pan.  Bring to boil.  Combine cornflour and extra water, add to pan, stir until sauce boils and thickens, reduce heat, simmer two minutes.
  4. Heat reserved oil, add sliced ginger, fry one minute, add prepared sauce, simmer two minutes, pour over chicken.  Garnish with chopped shallot.
