Mix the marinade well until no clumps of cornstarch remain, and the egg is evenly mixed.
Immerse chicken or chosen protein in the marinade, stir until evenly coated, then pour both chicken and marinade into a bag and place in the refrigerator.
Let rest at least one hour before use. I recommend shallow-frying this amazing chicken!
Notes
Don't worry if you don't have garlic ginger paste already! If you have garlic bulbs and a frozen or fresh ginger root, you have everything you need. Finely grate ginger and garlic (1 part ginger to 2 parts garlic), mix them with a little oil, and you've got fresh, flavorful garlic ginger paste ready to go!
If you've having trouble getting the cornstarch not to clump, mix it with a tiny bit of water first before adding it in. Not too much, or it'll make the marinade too thin.
While this marinade is made for chicken, it's delicious with other proteins! Try it with tofu, thin cut pork or beef, or even shrimp or prawns!
