- Lay out about 2 feet of plastic wrap on a clean surface.

- Mix the flour, turmeric, garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper.
- The chicken tatters go into the eggs, and then the flour dredge. Toss the flour dredge on to the tatters and lightly toss. Then, toss the dredged tatters into the pan with the hot oil.
- Cook the tatters until golden, keeping enough space in the pan between tatters to maintain their independence. If you have any thick pieces, keep them in a bit longer, and be sure to remove from heat the little pieces before the big ones. Cooked bits should be placed on a plate of paper towels to drain.
- Blend the jelly, juice, sugar, vinegar, soy, and ginger into a fine, loose, puree.
