Cooking instruction summary:

Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Stir in the chicken broth, juice, soy sauce, onion, brown sugar, ginger and cardamom. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat until it comes to a gentle boil. Let it cook for about 5 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and the water. Add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce and cook just until the sauce starts to thicken up. (This will probably happen very quickly.) Remove the sauce from the heat.Meanwhile, pour a layer of vegetable oil into a large saute pan and warm over medium heat. Add the flour to a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Add the egg to another shallow pan and add about a teaspoon of water. Lightly whisk.Working in 3-4 batches, take some of the chicken and dip it in the egg mixture. Allow some of the egg to drip off, and put the chicken in the flour mixture to coat. Use tongs to transfer the chicken to the hot oil and pan fry, turning as necessary, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken, adding more oil as necessary.Put all of the cooked chicken into a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the top and stir to coat the chicken. Serve over rice and top with sliced green onions.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
