- mirin 1 tablespoon
- oyster sauce 1 tablespoon
- five-spice powder a pinch

Recipe 🍳
- Score the chicken thighs along the bone to loosen the meat and spread it out flat.
- Mix the chicken meat with light soy sauce, egg, mirin, oyster sauce, five-spice powder, chopped green onion, and ginger. Toss well and marinate for 2 hours.
- Coat the marinated chicken thoroughly with potato starch, then let sit for 30 minutes to allow the starch to absorb moisture.
- Fry the coated chicken in heated oil until golden and crisp.
- Heat oil in a pan, sauté chopped green onion and garlic until fragrant. Add cabbage, Chinese cabbage, and bean sprouts. Season with light soy sauce, mirin, and sugar, then stir-fry quickly over high heat.
- Place warm rice into a serving bowl, top with the stir-fried vegetables, and arrange the sliced chicken fritters on top. Serve immediately.
- Remove the meat from chicken thighs and marinate in seasoning for 2 hours.
- Coat the chicken with starch and fry until crispy.
- Stir-fry vegetables in green onion oil with soy sauce and sugar for a crisp texture.
- Top warm rice with stir-fried vegetables and sliced chicken fritters to finish.
Cooking tips 💡
- Fresh chilled chicken is much tastier than frozen, as freezing causes loss of juices.
- After frying once, remove the chicken, let it cool slightly, then fry again for an even crispier exterior by driving out moisture.
