1. Start by cleaning the chicken breast of tendons, ensuring we get only clean and juicy meat. Once this step is complete, cut the meat into cubes of nearly one centimeter, making sure they are uniformly sized for even cooking. These cubes are placed in a small bowl, where we will add starch, table wine, 2 ml of soy sauce, and 5 ml of oil. Mix well so that all ingredients blend perfectly, and the meat is evenly coated, achieving a more tender texture after frying.
2. Now we move on to the carrot, which we wash and peel. Then, cut the carrot into cubes the same size as the chicken, to ensure even cooking. These cubes will add not only a sweet taste but also a splash of color to our dish.
3. The next step involves cutting the leek, ginger, and garlic. The leek will bring a delicate flavor, while the ginger and garlic will introduce a spicy and deep note, thus completing the flavor palette.
4. We start heating a suitable pan, to which we will add an appropriate amount of oil. When the oil is hot, we add the carrot cubes and fry them over low to medium heat until they become slightly softer. This process will take a few minutes, after which we will remove the carrots to a small bowl.
5. We return to the pan, where we add a slightly larger amount of oil. Once the oil is heated, we add the slices of leek, ginger, and garlic. They will fry over low heat, and the aroma will begin to fill our kitchen, creating an irresistible atmosphere.
6. Once the aromas have been released, we add the chicken cubes to the pan and stir them quickly over medium heat. When the meat changes color, becoming lighter, it’s time to introduce the ketchup, soy sauce, and sugar, mixing them well to achieve a uniform and delicious sauce.
7. Finally, we add the fried carrot cubes and a pinch of salt. Everything is mixed carefully, and our dish is almost ready. The combined aroma of the ingredients will be simply irresistible.
Useful tips: 1. If you wish, the chicken breast can be replaced with chicken thighs, which are juicier. 2. The starch and oil added to the meat will contribute to a more tender texture. 3. If you are a tomato lover, feel free to add a larger amount of ketchup. 4. Eating carrots is beneficial for health, helping to prevent cancer due to their high carotene content. This is better absorbed in the presence of fats, so frying the carrots in oil is an excellent choice.
