Fried Garlic Chicken Balls

2 lb ground chicken meat

1/2 teaspoon white pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 egg whites

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (fresh if possible)

2 tablespoons dry sherry or rice wine

4 cloves garlic -- crushed

-coating
- 1 cup cornstarch

1 cup flour

4 cups peanut oil -- for frying

Mix the chicken with all of the seasonings and egg whites. Mix it very well. Form into balls about the size of large walnuts and set on waxed paper. When all are formed, mix the cornstarch with the flour and roll each ball in this mixture. Deep fry in several batches in 360 degree oil until the balls float and are golden brown in color, about 5 minutes. Taste one to be sure they are done to your liking.
