Lemon chicken (Ling moong gai)

Ling moong gai is a traditional chicken dish originating from China. The dish is usually made with a combination of chicken, soy sauce, lemon juice and zest, sesame oil, ginger, cornflour, scallions, and sugar. The chicken is cut into quarters and rubbed with soy sauce.

The lemon zest and juice are mixed with soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and water. The chicken is browned in a wok on both sides and it's mixed with ginger and lemon juice mixture. Once the liquid starts to boil, the dish is simmered over low heat until the chicken is tender.

The meat is removed and cut into bite-sized pieces. Cornflour and water are stirred into a paste that's added to the sauce. The sauce is boiled until thick and it's then spooned over the chicken. The dish is usually garnished with scallions and lemon slices, and it's accompanied by rice on the side.
