Ingredients:
2 egg whites |
1-1/2 teaspoon(s) toasted sesame oil |
1-1/2 teaspoon(s) chinese 5-spice |
2 tablespoon(s) cornstarch |
1-1/2 teaspoon(s) kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon(s) freshly ground pepper |
1/2 teaspoon(s) dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon(s) crushed red pepper |
2 pound(s) (3) bonesless, skinless, chicken breasts cut into long, thin strips |
2 cup(s) canola oil |
1 lime - cut into eights |
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and cut into thin cross sections |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk egg whites, sesame oil, five-spice, corn starch, salt, grounded pepper, oregano and red pepper flakes until the egg whites have loosened.
2. Stir in the thinly sliced chicken breast into the bowl until the chicken is completely coated. Let chicken marinade in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
3. In a large saucepan or wok over medium high heat, heat canola oil until it shimmers (about 325˚).
4. Being careful not to over crown the pan, cook chicken strips until they are light-golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Let each batch drain on a rack or paper towel.
5. In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly toss chicken, lime and jalapeno slices in a bowl (keep in mind the longer you toss the jalapeno and chicken, the spicier it gets). Salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
