## What is Chinese Chicken and Onions

We have taken inspiration from Spice N' Pans' YouTube channel and bring to you this unbelievably easy yet tasty dish.

This dish is made with chicken breast chunks stir fired with garlic and onions coated in a thick soy and oyster-based sauce.

To ensure the chicken breast turns out tender and flavourful, we marinate it in some baking soda and soy sauce.

## Ingredients

- 230 grams chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 red onions
- 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
- 4 cloves of thinly sliced garlic
- 1 bunch spring onions, cut into sticks, separated into green and white parts
- 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 4 tablespoons of Chinese rice wine
- A few dashes of white pepper
- 1 tsp cornflour mixed 1 tbsp cold water

## Preparing the Ingredients

### Chicken preparation

Marinate the chicken in baking soda and soy sauce for at least 30 minutes.

### Onion preparation

Peel the onions and slice them into thin wedges. Set aside.

### Garlic preparation

Thinly slice the garlic cloves. Set both aside.

### Sauce preparation

In a small bowl, mix together the oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, and white rice wine. Set aside.

## Cooking the Dish

### Cooking the onions and garlic

Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium high heat. Add some oil and sauté the onions, garlic, and chilli flakes for 3-4 minutes, or until the onions are slightly translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

### Cooking the chicken

In the same wok or pan, add the chicken pieces and stir fry until partially cooked.

- Protein: 30g
- Carbohydrates: 15
- Fats: 10g

## The Stir-Fry Secret: Tips and Tricks

- For an even more flavorful dish, consider marinating the chicken overnight.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. This helps in achieving a nice sear on the chicken, keeping it tender inside.
- Always prep your ingredients beforehand. Stir-frying is a quick process and you won't have time to chop during the cooking!

## Ingredient Swaps: Substitutes and Alternatives

Can't find all the ingredients? No worries! Here are some swaps you can consider:

- Chicken: If you don't have chicken breast on hand, you can use chicken thighs. For a vegetarian alternative, consider tofu or tempeh.
- Chinese rice wine: Dry sherry or mirin can serve as decent substitutes. In a pinch, white wine or apple juice can also work.
- Dark soy sauce: Regular soy sauce or tamari (gluten-free) can be used instead. Keep in mind that dark soy sauce has a deeper color and slightly sweeter flavor.

### Final touches

Let everything simmer for a couple of minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Thicken the sauce with a cornstarch solution, stirring constantly to avoid lumps until you reach your desired consistency. Add a few dashes of white pepper to taste. Finally, chop the spring onions into 1-inch pieces and add them to the pan. Give everything a quick stir to combine.

## Serving Suggestions

Serve your Chinese Chicken with Onions over a bed of steamed white or brown rice, or with some stir-fried noodles. You can also pair it with a side of steamed vegetables like broccoli or bok choy for a well-rounded meal. Enjoy!

## What is Dakgangjeong - Korean Fried Chicken?

Dakgangjeong, also known as Korean fried chicken, is characterized by its crunchy texture and sweet and savory flavors.

The dish is made by coating bite-sized pieces of chicken in a mixture of flour, cornstarch, and eggs, and then deep-frying them until they are golden brown and crispy.

Dakgangjeong is often coated in a sweet, spicy and sticky sauce made from a combination of gochujang (Korean chili paste), soy sauce, sugar, and garlic.

## Where Does Dakgangjeong Come From?

This dish is thought to have originated in the city of Andong, located in the southeastern region of South Korea.

## What Does Dakgangjeong Mean?

The name "dakgangjeong" is a combination of the Korean words for "chicken" (dak) and "crunchy" (gangjeong), which perfectly describes the defining characteristics of this tasty dish.

## What Are The Steps In Making Dakgangjeong?

1. Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
2. Marinate the chicken to ensure the flavours seep into the chicken meat.
3. Coat the chicken pieces in the egg, then in the cornflour and the cassava or potato starch. Do not use regular flour as this will change the texture of the batter and will not make it as crispy. Also, avoid using just cornflour for the batter as this will also not turn out as crispy.
4. Fry the chicken over medium-high heat. Be sure to fry when the oil is around 180C for 350F. Do not overcrowd the pan.
5. Make the sauce by combining all the other ingredients together over a pan. Heat it up slightly until combined, then toss the chicken pieces until well coated with the sauce.

## What is Dakgangjeong made of?

Dakgangjeong is simply Korean crispy fried chicken coated with a thick sweet and sticky sauce.

Bite-sized Chicken pieces are coated in a batter and then fried until golden and crispy.

## What is the difference between Dakgangjeong and Yangnyeom?

Dakgangjeong is made from smaller, bite-sized pieces of chicken that is usually cooked without the bones.

Yangnyeom on the other hand is made with bone-in chicken, similar to the classic KFC fried chicken, except it is also coated in a thick, sweet and spicy sauce.

## Why is Korean Fried Chicken so crispy?

The secret to make really crispy Dakgangjeong is to avoid using flour in your batter.

As chef RV suggest, the best is to use cassava or potato starch along with cornflour or cornstarch.

When frying, the chicken pieces should also be submerged in oil that is around 350F or around 180C to ensure the moisture can escape and keep the chicken pieces crispy.

## What Are The Serving Suggestions for Dakgangjeong?

1. As a snack or even an appetizer to serve at parties. Simply arrange the fried chicken on a platter and serve with toothpicks or small forks for easy dipping and picking.
2. As a main dish, accompanied by rice, pickled radishes, kimchi, or Korean-style potato salad.
3. Dakgangjeong is often paired with beer in Korea, and for good reason - the crispiness of the fried chicken and the carbonation of the beer make for a great combination.
4. You can also balance out the richness of the fried chicken with a side of greens or a refreshing cucumber salad.
