Instructions

Mix together chicken, ginger paste, garlic, soy sauce, egg, salt, freshly ground black pepper and sesame oil. Place in a covered container and let it marinate for at least 4 hours in the fridge.
Prepare a wok then add enough oil for deep frying. Heat oil to 180C.
Remove chicken from the fridge then drain excess liquid. Pour potato starch and give it a good mix making sure each chicken piece is coated with the starch.
Deep fry each chicken piece, placing one at a time. Cook until golden brown which is around 5 minutes or until cooked; do not overcook to retain the tenderness of the chicken.
Place in a paper lined plate to drain excess oil then serve while hot.
