Gold Mountain

Sure thing! The "Gold Mountain" you're referring to is likely a dish called "Golden Mountain Sauce Chicken" or "Golden Mountain Chicken," which can be found in Chinese restaurants across the United States.

The dish features bite-sized pieces of chicken that have been coated in a batter and deep-fried until crispy and golden brown. The chicken is then tossed in a savory and slightly sweet sauce that has a deep golden color, hence the name "Golden Mountain Sauce."

The sauce is typically made with ingredients like soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and various spices. It has a rich and complex flavor that is both savory and slightly sweet, with a hint of tanginess from the rice vinegar.

Instructions:

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and cornstarch. Gradually stir in the cold water and club soda until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.

2. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or a deep fryer to 350°F.

3. Dip the chicken pieces in the batter, shaking off any excess, and carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry the chicken in batches until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

4. While the chicken is frying, make the sauce by combining the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes.

5. Once all the chicken is fried, drain it on paper towels and toss it in the sauce.

6. Serve the Golden Mountain Sauce Chicken garnished with chopped green onions.
