Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ pounds Boneless chicken breasts cut into 1/4\" strips
Marinade:
2 Egg whites, beaten
2 tablespoons Cornstarch
⅛ teaspoon Salt
Deep fry
3 cups Peanut oil
Assembly
17 ounces Can creamed corn
3 cups Chicken stock
1 tablespoon Light soy sauce
Salt & pepper to taste
Sesame oil

Directions

Cut the chicken and pat dry on paper towels. Mix with the egg-white marinade and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Heat the oil in a saucepan or wok to between 280 and 300 degrees, no hotter. Deep-fry the chicken strips in the oil just until they are barely tender. They will not brown. Heat the creamed corn along with the soup stock and light soy. When hot add the chicken and season to taste with the salt and pepper. Add the sesame oil drops to garnish and serve. From The Frugal Gourmet Cooks Three Ancient Cuisines, Jeff Smith, Avon, c 1989.
