1 cup of all-purpose flour

1 cup of cold water

1 egg

2 tablespoons of cornstarch

1 teaspoon of baking powder

1 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon of ground black pepper

1 teaspoon of garlic powder

1 teaspoon of ginger powder

1 teaspoon of paprika powder

For the sauce:

2 tablespoons of sesame oil

½ teaspoon of ginger paste or finely minced ginger

¼ cup of honey

¼ cup of low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons of brown sugar

Method

Heat a deep cast iron pan over medium heat with 1 inch of oil to about 265 degrees Fahrenheit.

In the meantime, whisk the flour, water, egg, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, ginger powder and paprika together in a large bowl.

Add the chicken to the batter and once the oil is hot, lightly drain 6-8 pieces from the batter and fry in the oil for 3-4 minutes or until light and golden.

Drain the chicken from the oil on a plate with a paper towel and repeat the cooking process with the remaining chicken.

To make the sauce, heat the sesame oil in a saucepan over medium heat - then add the ginger and cool for 30 seconds then add the remaining sauce ingredients and stir and cook until the sauce becomes thick, about 5 minutes.

Lay the chicken out on a cooling rack and brush the sauce overtop.

Garnish with freshly chopped green onions and sesame seeds then serve.
