Marinate the chicken meat with the soy sauce and white pepper for 15 minutes. Add the egg to the chicken and mix well.
-
Coat the marinated chicken well with the cornflour.
-
Heat up oil for deep frying. Deep fry the chicken till golden brown (in batches to prevent overcrowding). Drain excess oil by laying chicken on a strainer over a bowl.
-
Heat about 1 ½ Tbsp oil in another wok. Add the minced ginger, garlic, and dried chilies and stir-fry till aromatic.
-
Add in the sauce ingredients and stir. (There should be enough water in the sauce to cover the chicken).
-
Bring to boil and allow to thicken, somewhat.
-
Now add the fried chicken, stir gently.
-
Allow the sauce to coat the chicken well, careful not the break the crust of the fried chicken. It should soak up the sauces nicely.

When the chicken is nicely glazed with the thickened sauce, add the oyster sauce and black pepper powder. Stir through.
-
Lastly, stir in scallion as a garnish and serve with steamed white rice!
