ORIENTAL HOKKEIN NOODLE SHERRY CHICKEN STIR FRY

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, trim the fat from the chicken, and slice it into strips.
• In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and sherry.
• Add the chicken, and mix well.
• Allow to marinate for at least an hour.
• Add the egg to the chicken, and mix thoroughly.
• Put the cornflour in a shallow dish, and dredge the chicken in it, a few pieces at a time, placing the dredged pieces on a wire cooling rack, making sure that they are not touching each other.
• Allow the chicken to rest, untouched, for 30 minutes. Be sure to reserve the cornflour for later use.
• Tip out the liquid from the bowl that you were using to marinate the chicken.
• In that bowl, add the boiling water, chicken stock powder, and sugar.
• Stir until the sugar has dissolved, then add the remaining sauce ingredients.
• Set sauce aside for now.
• Set oven to 50ºC (Keep warm temperature).
• Dredge the chicken in the cornflour that you reserved from earlier. You may need to add some more cornflour to coat all of the chicken pieces.
• Heat 3 tbsp oil in a wok, and add the chicken, shallow-frying for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until golden.
• Remove from heat, and put chicken on a plate lined with paper towels, and place in the oven. (I also put the sliced carrot on a plate, and place that in the oven at this point - It helps to make the carrot a little bit more tender, so you don't have to cook it for as long, later).
• Clean the wok, and add 1 tbsp of fresh oil.
• Add the ginger and garlic to the oil, while it is heating.
• Once the oil is hot, add the sauce, followed by all of the vegetables, and the noodles.
• Stir fry for 1 - 2 minutes, then add the chicken.
• Reduce heat, and stir through for a further minute.
• Serve, and enjoy.
