Cook it, folding all the ingredients until they are well coated, about 2 minutes. Stir in the sauce and allow it to coat the chicken and simmer. When you see the first wisps of white smoke, stir in the fried chicken, onion, chiles and broccoli and cook them for about 30 seconds. Heat a wok or large skillet to high and add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of oil. Drain the chicken on paper towels or a wire rack. Dredge the chicken cubes in the remaining 1 cup (223 g) of tempura flour and fry them in two batches until golden brown and crispy, about 6 to 8 minutes. It should look like thick pancake batter. Mix 11/2 cups (335 g) of the tempura flour and 1 cup (240 ml) water into a thick batter. Rinse the chicken in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Remove from the heat and reserve it.įor the Chicken: Heat the 1 1/2 quarts oil in a 4-quart (3.8-L) Dutch oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) using a frying thermometer.

Allow it to simmer and keep whisking it for about 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens. For the Sauce: Add all of the sauce ingredients into a 1-quart (946-ml) saucepan, and bring the heat up to medium.
