Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken:
- In a medium bowl, combine the Corn Flour, Salt, and Black Pepper.
- Dredge the Chicken pieces in the Corn Flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Dip each piece in the beaten Eggs, then coat with Plain Flour. Set aside.
2. Fry the Chicken:
- Heat about 1/2 inch of Vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Fry the Chicken in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove the Chicken and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
3. Fry the Veg:
- Add a teaspoon of Vegetable oil to the wok over medium-high heat.
- Fry the Pepper and the Onion together for about 3-4 minutes.
4. Make the Honey Sesame Sauce:
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine Honey, Soy Sauce, Rice Wine Vinegar, Ketchup, Sesame oil, minced Garlic, and grated Ginger.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Add the Corn Flour slurry to the sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
5. Combine and Serve:
- Add the Chicken back to the Veg and add the Honey Sesame sauce back into the wok with everything until evenly coated.
- Serve either as a dish in the center or on Rice and sprinkle with toasted Sesame Seeds and sliced Spring Onions for garnish.
- Enjoy!

Pro Tips
- Double Coating: For extra crispy chicken, double coat by dipping in the cornstarch mixture, then egg, then flour, and repeat once more.
- Marinate for Flavor: Marinate the chicken pieces in a mixture of soy sauce and a touch of sesame oil for 15 minutes before coating for added depth of flavor.
- Control the Heat: If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the honey sesame sauce.
