2 tsp spicy Mustard, ½ tsp ground Nutmeg, 3 tbsp Soy sauce

1 Garlic clove-grind, 3 Shallots-sliced, ½ tsp ground Pepper
3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, ½ tsp 5-spice powder

Directions
Using a long knife, slice chicken breast into wide cutlets, ~ 1½ cm thick; set it aside.

Sauce: Prepare the sauce 1 hour before cooking the chicken. Sauté shallots & garlic until wilted. Pour in other sauce ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat; stir continuously. Let it cool down & then place it in the fridge to allow the flavors to blend.
Dip chicken in beaten egg & then roll in starch mixture to coat completely; set it aside for 2 minutes. Deep fried in hot oil until golden brown. Drain & then slice the chicken. Pour some sauce on top just before serving.
