Instructions: To make the marinade: Mix the egg white, sugar, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and cornstarch together in a medium bowl. Add the chicken pieces and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.

When ready to serve, in a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan or wok, heat the oil to 350 degrees. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade. Deep-fry the chicken pieces for about 1 minute. Carefully pour the chicken and oil into a strainer or colander set over a bowl to drain the oil completely from the chicken. Reserve the oil.

To stir-fry: Heat 2 tablespoons of the strained oil in a medium-size skillet or wok. Add the red pepper flakes to flavor the oil and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then add the chicken, vinegar, soy sauce,and sugar, and heat for 1 minute. Add the cornstarch mixture, bring to a boil, and stir in the peanuts. Transfer the stir-fried chicken to a warmed platter, sprinkle with the coriander, and serve immediately with rice.
