Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces, rinse in cold water, drain, and thinly slice the scallion and chili pepper.

  2. 2

    Mix soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and 2 tbsp of water in a bowl, stirring until the sugar dissolves to complete the sauce.

  3. 3

    Remove fat from the chicken thigh, season with salt, and coat with potato starch, pressing firmly.

  4. 4

    Put the chicken in vegetable oil heated to 180C and double-fry for 6 minutes until the surface is firm and crispy.

  5. 5

    Lay lettuce on the bottom of a plate, slice the fried chicken and place it on top, then add the sliced scallions and chilis.

  6. 6

    Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the chicken so it absorbs the flavor, and serve immediately.
