Method
In a bowl, mix together: oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, white pepper powder, orange zest, egg whites, plain flour and cornflour. Add chicken pieces, mix well and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes. Heat enough oil to deep fry over medium-high heat. Once the oil is heated, gently add chicken in batches and fry until golden and fully cooked through. Drain on kitchen paper and set aside. In a bowl mix together the ingredients for the cornflour slurry and set aside.
Heat a wok over high heat. Add oil, ginger garlic paste, chilli flakes and stir fry for a minute. Then add salt, orange juice, soy sauce, vinegar and brown sugar. Bring to a boil then stirring constantly, add the cornflour slurry (stir the cornflour mixture well before adding).
Continue to stir until the sauce thickens. Add fried chicken pieces and gently toss to coat evenly. Once chicken is heated through and coated well in the sauce, remove from heat, garnish with spring onions and serve immediately with steamed rice.
