While visiting Guangzhou, I came across a street vendor selling crispy little nuggets of chicken flavored with red fermented bean curd. How unusual! And how absolutely delicious! Typically, bean curd is fermented in rice wine and chiles. I like the intense flavor of red fermented bean curd for cooking or marinating.
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 pound boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch wide strips
vegetable oil for deep frying
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 egg
1 green onion, green part only, chopped
Pour the oil into a wok, stir-fry pan, or 2 quart saucepan to a depth of 2 inches and heat to 350 degrees F. Mix the cornstarch and egg with a whisk in a medium bowl. Add the chicken and stir to coat evenly. Working in batches, deep-fry the chicken, stirring gently to prevent the pieces from sticking together, until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove with a wire strainer or slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain.
Divide the chicken among 4 parchment paper cones, little brown paper bags, or individual bowls. Garnish each with some of the green onion and serve.
