Method
- Cut the chicken breast into pieces. Toss with salt, white pepper, egg and cornstarch until coated.
- Heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the chicken until golden and cooked, then set aside.
- In the same pan simmer lemon juice, lemon zest, chicken stock, sugar, soy sauce and water. Stir in a little more cornstarch mixed with water until the sauce turns glossy.
- Toss the chicken in the sauce. Scatter spring onion and serve.
Shopping tip
Peito de frango or coxas. Limão, caldo de frango, açúcar, amido de milho. A glossy sweet-sour lemon sauce, not a creamy European one.
