Ingredients:
– 1/2 pound ground chicken (preferably thawed)
– 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
– 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
– 2 large eggs, beaten
– 1 cup all purpose flour
– 2 tablespoons cornstarch
– 1/2 cup water
Instructions:
1. In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, soy sauce, garlic, and red pepper flakes until well mixed.
2. Add the egg mixture into the chicken mixture, gently fold together using your hands.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and cornstarch. Then add the water gradually, mixing until a thin batter forms.
