Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 3 slices ginger
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • ¾ cup white vinegar
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 lb turkey thighs deboned
  • 1 egg
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 2 cups canola oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • In a small pot, heat 1 tbsp of oil on low heat and fry ginger until fragrant. Add ketchup to pot and cook until caramelized (around 1 min), stir constantly. Add vinegar and sugar to the pot and reduce until thickened.
  • While the sauce is reducing, cut the deboned turkey thigh into 1 inch cubes.
  • Combine egg, water, salt, pepper and flour to form a light batter.
  • In a wok (or dutch oven) filled with 2-3 inches of canola oil, heat oil to 350°F. Dip and coat each turkey piece in batter and gently place into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F, around 5 minutes.
  • Serve with sweet and sour dipping sauce.

Notes

For more flavour, add a star anise to the sauce while simmering.
