Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 2 spring onions, finely chopped
- 5 slices fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine (Chinese rice wine)
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- ½ teaspoon white sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup sweet potato starch
- 3 tablespoons sweet potato starch
- 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
- 2 cups lettuce leaves
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground white pepper
Instructions
- Whisk egg, spring onions, ginger, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, garlic, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon white pepper together in a bowl. Mix in chicken. Let marinate for 20 minutes.
- Pour 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sweet potato starch into a shallow bowl.
- Heat oil to 340 degrees F (170 degrees C) in a large saucepan. Dredge chicken pieces in sweet potato starch; drop gently into the hot oil in batches. Cook until golden on the outside and no longer pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon.
- Arrange lettuce leaves on a large serving plate. Place fried chicken on the lettuce leaves. Mix 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon white pepper together in a small bowl; sprinkle over chicken.
- We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.

Reviews
Made as written and this was good. Next time I might use regular corn starch to cut down on sweetness. I recommend drizzling pink chile sauce over the lettuce wraps. Excellent!
