4. 热锅，少油，中大火，将鸡肉均匀沾粉，皮朝下放入锅中

5. 煎至金黄，翻面

   Flip when the skin becomes golden.

6. 两面都金黄以后，加入酱汁，调成中火

总结 / Summary ##

经过实验，沾粉的步骤只是为了吸收更多酱汁，淀粉和面粉区别不大。

According to my experiments, it makes no difference using starch or flour, since the goal is to absorb more sauce.

原版菜谱加了半勺糖，我减少了一点，更能突出酸味和鲜味。

The original Nanban sauce recipe had half a table spoon of sugar. I used a little less than that to emphasize more on the acidity and umami.
