Ingredients: 250 grams (0.55 lb) chicken breast 150 grams (0.33 lb) green peppers 500 grams (1 cup) oil (only 75 g or 5 tbsp to be consumed) 1 egg white 12 grams (1 2/3 tbsp) dry cornstarch 4 grams (2/3 tsp) salt 1 gram (1/4 tsp) MSG 5 grams (1 tsp) cooking wine 75 grams (5 tbsp) water
Directions: 1. Cut the chicken breast into shreds 5 cm (2 inches) long and 0.25 (0.1 inch) thick and wide. Place in a bowl and add the egg white, 2 g (1/3 tsp) of salt and 10 g (1 1/2 tbsp) or dry cornstarch and mix well. Cut the green peppers into shreds to the size of the chicken shreds. Mix the remaining cornstarch with water.
2. Heat the oil in a wok over a strong fire to bring the temperature to 70-100ºC (160-210ºF) and slippery-fry the chicken for 1-2 minutes. Put in a strainer to drain off the oil.
