Mince ginger root and scallion; then add to egg, along with flour and sherry. Blend to a smooth batter. 3. Dip chicken in batter to coat. Meanwhile heat oil. 4. Add chicken, a few pieces at a time, and deep-fry until golden. Drain on paper toweling and serve. NOTE: This dish is said to date back to 600 A.D. Some cooks prepare it by disjointing the legs and wings, then chopping breast and back each in half for a total of 8 pieces. The breast and wings need less cooking than the drumsticks and should be removed from the hot oil first. From <The Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook>, ISBN 0-517-65870-4.
