Creamy Bang Bang Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 lb Chicken Breast (cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 1 tbsp Soy Sauce (referred to as 'sos kacang' in transcript)
• 1 tbsp Sake
• 1 tbsp Mirin
• 1 tsp Sesame Oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp Ginger (grated)
• Salt (to taste)
• 1 Egg White
• 0.5 cup Cornstarch (for coating; referred to as 'kacang putih' in transcript)
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 3 tbsp Sweet Chili Sauce (referred to as 'sos cili tajam')
• 1 tbsp Sriracha
• 1 tsp Lemon Juice
• 1 cup Neutral Oil (for frying (approx. 2 tbsp absorbed))

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place them in a medium mixing bowl.

2. 2

   Add the soy sauce, sake, mirin, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and egg white to the chicken. Mix thoroughly until the chicken is well-coated and let it marinate for at least 10-15 minutes.

3. 3

   In a separate shallow bowl or plate, add the cornstarch. Dredge each piece of marinated chicken in the cornstarch until fully and evenly coated, shaking off any excess.

4. 4

   Heat neutral oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the chicken pieces in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lemon juice until the sauce is smooth and well-combined.

6. 6

   Add the fried crispy chicken to the bowl with the sauce. Toss gently with a spatula or spoon until every piece of chicken is completely glazed in the creamy sauce.

7. 7

   Serve the Bang Bang chicken immediately over hot steamed rice. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

The transcript mentions 'sos kacang' and 'kacang putih', which are likely mistranslations of 'soy sauce' and 'cornstarch' respectively, based on standard Bang Bang chicken preparation and the other ingredients listed (sake, mirin). Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve maximum crispiness.
