Notes

∗ Vinegar plays a great role in this recipe. Vinegar is only one thing in this recipe that can give this chilli chicken a perfect street food flavor.
∗ Many people use Ajinomoto or MSG, but I don’t recommend it because of its disadvantages.
∗ If you don’t have corn flour, you can use arrowroot instead of it.
