Chinese Chicken Bites With Dipping Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb ground chicken
4 scallions, finely chopped
1/2 cup flour
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon water
1/2 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
peanut oil, for frying
Dipping Sauce
1 cup hot water
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 scallions, chopped finely
1 tablespoon flour

Preparation

Combine ingredients-chicken through pepper- and mix well. Pour about 1/2\" peanut oil in a heavy skillet. Heat to medium high heat. Drop chicken mixture by teaspoonfuls into hot oil. Reduce heat to medium-low and fry the chicken bites for 5 to 6 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
In a small saucepan, saute scallions in the sesame oil for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer until flavors are incorporated. Simmer for about 5 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and stir well. Adjust seasonings to taste. If the mixture is too thick, add a little hot water to make desired consistency.
