Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Begin by slicing your boneless, skinless chicken into thin strips. In a bowl, combine the chicken with the egg white, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly and marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully add the marinated chicken in batches and fry for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat and pour in sesame oil. Add minced garlic, minced ginger, and dried red chilies, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in ketchup, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, vinegar, and sugar. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens, adding water if needed.
- Once the sauce has thickened, add the crispy fried chicken back into the skillet and gently toss to coat. Let it simmer for an additional minute to absorb the flavors.
- Remove from heat and transfer the Dragon Chicken to a serving dish. Garnish with green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with steamed rice, tossed noodles, or lettuce cups.

Notes
For a crispier chicken, ensure the oil is at the right temperature before frying. Store leftovers separately to maintain crispiness.
