Steps

Translated from the Korean original. Amounts are as in the original recipe.

Slice the chicken breast thin and season with black pepper.
Remove the heads of the ginseng and wash it well; mince half of it, and mince the onion and garlic as well.
Julienne the remaining ginseng, green onion, and perilla leaves and soak them in water.
Stir-fry the minced onion and garlic, add the cream and simmer gently, then add orange and lemon juice to make the sauce.
Make a batter by mixing the flour with cold water and an egg, and coat the chicken breast.
Pour plenty of oil in a pan and pan-fry the chicken breast until crisp, place on a plate, drizzle with the ginseng sauce, and top with the perilla leaves, green onion, and julienned ginseng.

💡 TipThe aroma of the ginseng sauce adds depth of flavor, so you can use less salt.
