枫蜜芝麻鸡 Honey Maple Sesame Chicken

My friends used to ask me why there are more desserts than cooking recipes in my blog. To me, I find the speedy process taking photos of the actual cooking part rather impossible especially during the time my hands are all tight up performing the cooking works. This is not so much the case when it comes to making cakes or most forms of desserts.
许多朋友都问我为什么博客里大多数都是蛋糕类甜品及糕粿而极少烹饪上的食谱。对我而言，确实原因是在摄影方面的困难，尤其是烹饪时间快速再加上自己双手都会忙于烹煮，有时候却是来不及拍下全部的制做过程。制做蛋糕类及甜品糕粿的过程多半没煮炒般匆忙所以较容易拍摄下准备过程。

With more incoming request to share cooking recipes, I began incorporating good cooking recipes which I deemed worthy. Although this recipe can be found in Rasa Malaysia website, I am sharing this again as for my own record as its just to yummy to miss.
随着更多网友的要求，我也开始在博客里加入些美味的烹煮食谱。这一道食谱您虽然可以在 Rasa Malaysia的博客里找到，我今天刻意在博客里分享这修改版的类似食谱是为了把这道超好吃的炸鸡食谱寄存在自己博客里。

Hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

Directions 步骤

For ingredients (A) cut chicken breast to cubes or bite size. Season the chicken with the balance ingredients from (A) and refrigerate the chicken for 1 hour.
材料A的鸡胸肉切丁或切块。将材料A其余材料一起混入肌肉块泡醃。送入冰箱冷藏一小时。

Prepare the batter for frying the chicken by whisking egg whites (B) into a mixing bowl with the rest of the ingredients (B) until smooth.
接着准备炸鸡的裹面粉，首先把材料B的蛋白倒入碗打发后才混入其余B的材料直到裹面粉糊里无粒粒即可。

Place ice cubes (C) into another bigger mixing bowl and place underneath the bowl with the frying batter (B).
再把裹面粉糊的碗搭上一个已剩了冰块C的盆上。

Transfer the marinated chicken into the batter and mix evenly. Place the entire bowl into the fridge and allow the mixture to sit for 1  hour.
把鸡肉从冰箱取出倒入裹面粉糊，混匀。再把整个碗盆放入冰箱冷藏一个小时。

Combine all ingredients (D) in a bowl to make the honey maple sauce to be used when the chicken is ready for stir frying.
这时候把材料D的全部材料混合成炒鸡所用的酱料，搁置待用。

Heat up cooking oil (E) in a frying wok. Deep fry the chicken pieces with medium heat until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and turn golden brown. Remove from heat and drain the fried chicken pieces on paper towels.
材料E的食油倒入炒锅烧热。一中火把鸡肉块炸至熟透及表面变金黄色。炸好的鸡肉块铺在吸油纸上吸取多余的油汁。

Remove the excess frying oil while leaving 3 Tbsp of the oil (F) in the wok. Stir in chopped garlic and saute the garlic (F) until fragrant.
保存3大汤匙之前炸鸡用过的食油F，收起其余的食油。蒜米F倒入已烧热的食油以中火爆香。

Pour in the honey maple sesame sauce (D) mixture and continue stirring until the sauce starts to simmer.  Add in the cornstarch water mixture (F) to the honey maple sauce and continue stirring to thicken the sauce.
拌入混合好的蜂蜜酱汁D，继续拌炒到酱料开始沸，拌入玉米淀粉液F，一直翻搅把蜂蜜酱煮浓稀。

Toss in the fried chicken and stir for 1 minute with medium heat to evenly coat the sauce over the chicken.
混入炸鸡块快速以中火翻炒1分钟把酱料混匀在鸡肉块上。

Remove from heat and sprinkle the top with toasted sesame seeds.
离火后表面铺上烤芝麻装饰。
