  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  4                     good sized baking russets
  2             slices  onion -- 1/4 inch then minced
  6                     garlic cloves -- 6-8 peeled and
                        minced
  2        tablespoons  butter -- (2-3)
  2        tablespoons  chopped parsley
                        milk
Peel and boil potatoes in salted water, along with the minced onion 
and garlic.
When potatoes are done, drain, saving the water, and mash the 
potatoes with the butter and as much milk as required to beat the 
potato smooth.... add the chopped parsley, taste for salt, and add 
as much as you require.
If desired, a sprinkle of parmesan can be spread over the top and 
he dish then placed under a broiler, to brown.
However way it is served, for a garlic lover, it is fantastic.
Leftovers, I mix with flour and turn into gnocchi, then serve it
separately, with more melted butter and parmesan.

Recipe By     :
Serving Size  : 4     Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Volume 4-10 Oct. 2001
  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1              pound  boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut
                        into 1-inch pieces
  1         tablespoon  soy sauce
  1         tablespoon  dry sherry
  1              large  egg, beaten
     1/2           cup  cornstarch
  3               cups  broccoli florets
                        Vegetable oil for deep-frying
     1/4           cup  chicken broth
     1/4           cup  soy sauce
  3        tablespoons  dry sherry
     1/4           cup  sugar
  1 1/2    tablespoons  rice vinegar
  1         tablespoon  cornstarch
  6        tablespoons  cold water
  1         tablespoon  minced garlic
  10       small whole  dried red chilies
** This dish was supposedly invented by a famous Hunan
    general before a big battle. Whoever the inventor
    was, he or she discovered that three successive dips
    in oil produces the very crisp crust that makes this
    a deep-fried classic. **
At least 1 hour before serving, coat the chicken. Place a large wire 
cake rack over a jelly roll pan. Place the chicken in a medium bowl. 
Add the soy sauce and sherry and mix well. Add the egg and mix again 
until well coated.
Put 1/2 cup cornstarch in a shallow bowl. A few pieces at a time, 
roll the chicken in the cornstarch. Place on the wire rack without 
the pieces touching each other. Set the bowl of cornstarch aside.
Cover the chicken loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate to set 
the coating, at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours, the longer the 
better. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before deep-frying.
In a large saucepan of lightly salted boiling water, cook the 
broccoli to set the color, about 1 minute. Using a wire mesh 
skimmer, transfer the broccoli to a bowl of cold water and set 
aside. Keep the water boiling.
Heat a large flat-bottomed wok or deep Dutch oven over high heat 
until very hot. Add enough oil to come about one third of the way up 
the sides of the wok or to a depth of 2 to 3 inches in the Dutch 
oven. Over high heat, heat the oil until very hot, but not smoking 
(the surface of the oil will shimmer slightly), or to 400F (200C) on 
a deep frying thermometer.
In a small bowl, combine the broth, soy sauce, sherry, sugar, and 
vinegar, stirring to dissolve the sugar as much as possible. In 
another small bowl, dissolve the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch 
in the water.
Roll the chicken again in the bowl of cornstarch. In batches without 
crowding, deep-fry the chicken pieces until the coating sets, about 
30 seconds. Using a wire-mesh skimmer, remove the chicken and count 
to 10. Return the chicken to the oil and cook until golden, about 15 
seconds. Remove from the oil, count to 10, and deep-fry a third time 
until the coating is crisp and golden brown, about 1 minute. 
Transfer to a platter and set aside while deep-frying the remaining 
chicken.
Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the oil from the wok. Return to 
high heat and add the chilies. Cook until the chilies are dark red 
(the longer they cook, the darker they get and the spicier the dish, 
so adjust the cooking time according to taste). Stir in the soy 
sauce mixture into the wok, then stir in the garlic. Reduce heat to 
low and simmer for 20 seconds. Add the cornstarch mixture and stir 
until thickened. Add the chicken pieces and stir to coat them with 
the sauce. Transfer to the center of a platter. Drain the broccoli 
from the bowl of water and return the broccoli to the saucepan of 
boiling water. Cook just until heated through, about 30 seconds. 
Drain and arrange the broccoli around the chicken. 
Serve immediately.
