Soft-Fried Chicken in Lemon Sauce Soft-Fried Chicken in Lemon Sauce This month's recipe, from the kitchen of the Beijing Novotel Xinqiao Hotel, promises to satisfy your sweet tooth - and your appetite. Ingredients: 350g chicken breast 1 cup lemon juice 6 tbsp white granulated sugar 1 cup starch 2 eggs salt 6 cups peanut oil Instructions: Wash the chicken breasts and cut them into large filets. Rub the chicken with a small amount of salt. Dip the filets in the yolk of two eggs and coat them in the starch. Pre-heat the oil in a wok until hot. Place the filets in the oil and deep-fry until golden yellow. Take the filets out and score them once lengthwise. Turn the filets over and score the other side 4 or 5 times across their width. Set aside. Boil the lemon juice in a wok and dissolve in granulated sugar. Add 1 cup of water and three tablespoons of starch to thicken the mixture. When the starch has completely dissolved, pour the sauce onto the filets. Serves two. |
