Instructions
Step 1
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place in a bowl. Season with salt, white pepper, and sake, then mix well. Add the egg white and mix until coated. Stir in potato starch, then add oil and mix again. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients and set aside.
Step 3
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken until browned and no longer pink, then transfer to a plate.
Step 4
In the same pan, heat more oil and fry the leek, garlic, and ginger until fragrant. Add chili bean sauce and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the prepared sauce and heat until bubbling.
Step 5
Return the chicken to the pan and add lemon juice, sesame oil, chili oil, and green peas. Cook until heated through and the sauce is thick and glossy. Remove from heat.
Step 6
In a separate pan, melt butter over low heat. Whisk the egg and reserved yolk, then pour into the pan. Stir continuously until cooked to your preference. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 7
Serve the scrambled egg and chicken chili together, garnished with green onions. Best with white rice. Enjoy!
