How to Make Winter Garden Special
- In a bowl, combine chicken, beaten egg, 1 tsp salt, and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly with your hands.
- Dredge chicken in flour, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Discard any excess flour.
- Set aside the coated chicken.
- **Prepare the Sauce:** (Add your preferred sweet and sour sauce recipe here, or use a store bought version. A typical recipe includes soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, ketchup, and chili garlic sauce.)
- Heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C) in a wok or large skillet.
- Deep-fry chicken in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy (about 2 minutes per batch).
- Remove chicken and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in the wok over medium-high heat.
- Add sliced scallions and stir-fry briefly until fragrant.
- Pour in the prepared sauce and bring to a boil.
- Add the deep-fried chicken to the sauce and stir-fry for 1 minute to coat.
- Transfer chicken and sauce to a serving platter.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in the wok.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the spinach. Stir-fry briskly for 1 minute until wilted.
- Discard any excess liquid from the spinach.
- Arrange the spinach around the chicken on the platter.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
