    2 tb Soy sauce,
    1 tb Dark soft brown sugar or
    - honey
    2 ts Sesame oil,
    2 tb Chinese rice wine

    MMMMM---------------------------OTHER--------------------------------
    4 cl Garlic; minced,
    1 (2") piece fresh ginger;
    - grated
    pn Red chile flakes; or more
    1 tb Cornflour
    +=MIXED WITH=+
    2 tb Cold water
    Cooking oil for shallow
    - frying

    MMMMM--------------------------GARNISH-------------------------------
    3 Spring onions; finely sliced
    2 ts Sesame seeds

    Slice the chicken into chunks after trimming any
    sinue/fat and then mix together some plain flour,
    cornflour and season with salt and white pepper. Dredge
    the chicken pieces well in the mixture until completely
    coated then lay the pieces out on some kitchen roll
    until the moisture begins to soak into the flour. This
    will probably take 8-10 mins. After this has occured,
    dredge them once more. Set aside.

    Heat enough cooking oil in a pan to fill it for shallow
    frying the chicken pieces. Once nice and hot at 175 C,
    fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden and crisp
    and cooked through turning occasionally. Check the
    chickens cooked by removing a piece and slicing it in
    half to ensure it's not pink. Set them upon some more
    kitchen towel to remove any access oil.

    Mix together all the sauce ingredients. Also have your
    cornflour water slurry mixture made up and ready. Heat
    up a wok until nice and hot and add in a touch of oil
    then add in the garlic, ginger and chilli flakes plus
    the whites of the onion and MSG. Fry for a few seconds
    until fragrant then add in the sauce mixture. Once the
    sauce is bubbling away add in the cornflour mixture and
    stir quickly to thicken up the sauce further.

    Re-add the crisp cooked chicken pieces and toss well in
    the sticky sauce. Remove from the heat and serve up.
    Garnish with the greens of the onion and some sesame
    seeds.
