Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • 1 Chicken Breast (approx. 300g)
  • 1/2 Scallion
  • Potato Starch (for dusting)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)

Seasonings

  • [A] Ketchup 3 tbsp
  • [A] Minced Garlic 2 tsp
  • [A] Grated Ginger 1 tsp
  • [A] Chicken Stock Powder 1/2 tsp
  • [A] Sugar 1 tsp
  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 2 tbsp
  • Doubanjiang (Chili Bean Paste) 2 tsp

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine 3 tbsp Ketchup, 2 tsp Minced Garlic, 1 tsp Grated Ginger, 1/2 tsp Chicken Stock Powder, 1 tsp Sugar, and 2 tbsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine). Mix well.
  2. Finely chop the scallion. Make slits in half a scallion, flip it over, and make slits on the other side. Thinly slicing will make it easy to achieve a fine chop.
  3. Cut the chicken breast. First, remove the skin from 1 chicken breast and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Sprinkle a pinch of Salt and a pinch of Pepper over the cut chicken breast, then coat thoroughly with Potato Starch, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
  5. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of oil. Pan-fry the chicken breast, keeping some space between the pieces so they don't stick. Once browned on one side, flip and cook thoroughly through the center.
  6. Once cooked through, remove the chicken breast from the pan.
  7. In the same frying pan, add about 1 tbsp of oil and heat over low heat. Add 2 tsp Doubanjiang (Chili Bean Paste) and stir-fry over low heat to release its sweetness into the oil. (This is the key!) Stir-frying the doubanjiang first will completely change its aroma and sweetness.
  8. Once a pleasant aroma from the doubanjiang emerges, add the pre-mixed sauce and bring to a boil.
  9. Once the sauce is warmed through, add the pan-fried chicken breast and the finely chopped scallion, and toss to coat everything.
  10. Once the sauce has coated everything and looks delicious, it's ready to serve!
