* Step 3

Frying the chicken- heat enough oil (for deep frying) in a deep pan or a wok. Next, coat each strip of steamed chicken in B. Transfer them right away to fry. Fry these strips until they are looking crispy and nicely browned. Frying takes only a minute or two as the chicken is already cooked (steamed). Keep aside.
