Method

1. 1

   Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine the cornstarch and beaten eggs to create a batter.

3. 3

   Dip each piece of chicken into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated.

4. 4

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   In the same pan, discard excess oil, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

6. 6

   Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, and sugar to the pan, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes.

7. 7

   Return the fried chicken to the pan, tossing to coat evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.

8. 8

   Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot with steamed rice.
