Ginger-glazed chicken recipe

This recipe is similar to the ones that you can buy @ Chinese fast-food restaurants....one of my fav comfort foods =)
Main Ingredients:
Boneless chicken, cut into cubes
50% flour
50% cornstarch
pinch of salt
egg
oil for frying

Ginger Glaze Ingredients:
1/2 cup slices of ginger or however much you want (the more the better for me)
1 cup water
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup vinegar
1 cup corn syrup

-Combine flour, cornstarch and salt in one bowl
-beat the eggs
-dip the chicken into the flour and then into the eggs and into the flour again.
-fry on medium heat for about 15 min. (depends...), strain and put aside
-now if we want a crispier chicken, we'll have to double fry at a higher heat setting for just about 5 min.
-strain and set aside....now onto the glaze!

-Boil ginger with water.
-Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and vinegar and boil until the mixture bubbles.
-Mix and add corn syrup. Let boil until it bubbles again.

-Put the sauce on low heat and combine this with the fried chicken cube; toss until well-blended.
-You can toss in some sesame seeds before you serve this dish.
