Como fazer Mandarin Chicken

  1. Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces. In a bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, and ginger.
  2. Dip chicken pieces in the beaten egg, then dredge in the seasoned flour, ensuring they are fully coated.
  3. Heat 2 tbsp canola oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes), then set aside.
  4. In the same skillet or a clean one, heat 1 tbsp of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in ketchup, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and mandarin orange syrup until smooth.
  7. Gradually pour the cornstarch mixture into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until thickened (about 1-2 minutes).
  8. Add the cooked chicken to the sauce. Stir gently to coat.
  9. Stir in the drained mandarin orange segments. Heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
  10. Serve hot over rice or noodles. Enjoy!
