Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 500 g chicken breast fillet(s), cut into finger-thick strips
• 1 egg white, lightly beaten
• 2 tsp cornstarch
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp ginger root, grated
• 3 tbsp oil
• 2 tsp cornstarch
• 2 tsp water
• 6 tsp sugar
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 100 ml broth
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sherry, dry

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

sweet and sour

Mix the egg whites, cornstarch, salt, and ginger in a bowl. Add the chicken strips and let them marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. If you’re in a hurry, simply bread the fillets; it tastes just as delicious! Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan and fry the chicken strips until cooked through, turning frequently to prevent them from browning. Arrange the chicken strips on a plate and cover. For the sauce, mix the cornstarch with the water. Then bring all the ingredients to a boil in the wok and simmer until the sauce thickens. Pour the sauce over the meat or serve separately, as desired. Serve with white rice.
