1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
2 teaspoons minced ginger
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup julienned green onions, garnish
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, garnish
Directions
In medium bowl,
beat the egg lightly with the Asian seasoning. Place 1/4 cup cornstarch in a shallow dish.
One at a time, dredge the chicken in the cornstarch and dip into the egg wash, shaking to
remove any excess. Dredge again in the cornstarch to lightly coat.
Place on a baking dish and let stand for 5 minutes. Just before cooking, shake off any
excess cornstarch.
In a bowl, make the sauce by combining the chicken stock, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown
sugar, and lemon zest. Set aside.
In a wok, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken

strips (making sure not to overcrowd the pan.) Fry them for about 3 minutes, until crisp,
turning once. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. In a small bowl,
dissolve the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of cornstarch in the tablespoon of water. Pour
nearly all the oil out of the wok. Add the green onions, ginger, and garlic and stir-fry
for 30 seconds. Add the lemon sauce, stir to combine, and bring to a boil.
Add the cornstarch mixture and cook, stirring, until thick. Return the chicken strips to
the wok and stir-fry until warmed through and married with the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat and divide among 4 plates. Garnish with the julienned green onions
and toasted sesame seeds and serve.
