chinese favorite for two
1) Start by rinsing, pat dry and trimming two skinless boneless chicken breast. Then cube into about 1 inch pieces.
2) Heat 2 t oil over medium high heat in a large non stick skillet or a wok. Whisk together 2 egg whites, 3 T corn starch, 1/2 t salt and 1/4 t pepper. Add chicken to the egg mix and stir to coat.
3) Shake excess coating off the chicken and add one piece at a time. You can be a perfectionist and do half turning them nicely for 8 to 10 minutes and repeat. OR put them all in and stir occasionally like lazy me for about 12-14 minutes. Be sure the internal temp gets to 165 by checking multiple pieces.
4) While the chicken is cooking, mix the sauce. 1/2 cup water with 1 T corn starch. Whisk. Then add 1/2 cup brown sugar (decrease if you want). 3 T Hoisin sauce, 3 T ketchup, 2 T soy sauce, 1/4 t dry ginger and crushed red pepper. The red pepper is more to taste. 1/2 t is a mild heat (3/10) and 1 t is what I think of in Tso's chicken (7/10).
5) When the chicken is done, transfer to a bowl and decrease heat to medium-low. Add the sauce and whisk continuously while boiling until well thickened 2-3 minutes.
6) Add the chicken back in and stir to coat. Transfer to serving dish and top with toasted sesame seeds.
