Ingredients

6 pieces Boneless Chicken Thigh cut into bite-sized pieces
⅓ cup Rice Flour
¼ cup Corn Starch
2 tbsp Soy Sauce
1 tbsp of Minced Garlic
Salt and Pepper to season
⅓ cup Soda Water
1 Egg
3 Bell Pepper of your choice
2 tbsp minced garlic

Sweet and Sour Sauce

3 Tbsp Ketchup
2.5 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
1.5 Tbsp of Plum Sauce
2 tbsp Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Oyster Sauce
1 Tbsp Sugar optional

Instructions

Marinate the chicken with soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, pepper, corn starch, rice flour, soda water, and egg.
Massage everything together; you want a thick but slightly runny consistency; add more rice flour or soda water if needed. Rest for 20 minutes.
Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, ketchup, rice vinegar, plum sauce, and sugar.
Add in oil (enough to cover the chicken) in a pan, and turn the heat to medium-high. Once the oil is hot, add in the chicken and deep fry for 6-7 minutes or until golden brown.
Optional: remove the chicken, set it aside. Turn the heat up to high, add back in the chicken, and deep fry for 1-2 minutes.
In a separate pan, add in oil and turn the heat to medium-high—next, add in minced garlic and chopped bell pepper of your choice. Saute together for 1-2 minutes.
Drizzle in the sauce and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes or until it becomes a thicker consistency.
Add in crispy chicken and saute on high heat for 1 minute.

Notes

You can add any vegetable of your choice for Sweet and Sour Chicken. I use bell peppers today, but broccoli, baby corn, or snap peas can also be used.
