Wow! This is even better than the BEST I have had in my fave Chinese restaurant!. To make the meal go quickly prep everything the day or night before and store in the fridge!. To make this easy to understand I have changed the terms to cornstarch slurry and sauce!. The first is used to coat the chicken for frying, the second to coat the fried chicken!. HTH I use a grater with small holes for the ginger and garlic or you can just zip all the sauce ingredients up in a blender or food processor!. Enjoy!
