For the Chicken Marinade:
	•	500 g boneless chicken thighs, cut into cubes

👩‍🍳 Instructions
	1.	Marinate the Chicken:
Mix chicken with egg white, cornflour, salt, and black pepper. Rest for a bit.
	2.	Fry the Chicken:
Heat oil and shallow-fry the marinated chicken until golden and cooked through. Remove and drain.
	3.	Stir-Fry Aromatics:
Heat oil in a wok on high flame. Add garlic, spring onion whites, and coriander stems (mostly stems with a few leaves). Stir-fry for about 2 minutes — the garlic should soften but not brown.
	4.	Add Chilies:
Add slit green chilies and dried red chilies. Stir-fry briefly until fragrant.
	5.	Build the Sauce:
Pour in dark soy, light soy, vinegar, and hot sauce. Stir well.
	6.	Thicken:
Add the cornflour slurry and cook until the sauce slightly thickens and turns glossy.
	7.	Combine:
Add the fried chicken and toss well to coat evenly in the sauce.
	8.	Balance & Finish:
Stir in brown sugar and cook for another minute. Turn off the heat, drizzle sesame oil, and mix gently.
	9.	Garnish:
Top with chopped coriander leaves and spring onion greens. Serve hot with steamed or fried rice.

💡 Tip

Dark and light soy sauces already add salt, so go easy on extra seasoning — taste and adjust at the end.
