Ingredients
  

  • 5 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 3 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)
  • 10 tbsp plain (all-purpose) flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic salt
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 3 chicken breast fillets chopped into bite-size chunks
Sauce: *
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil optional - you can leave out and just sprinkle with plenty of sesame seeds at the end if you prefer
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
  • 1 tbsp Chinese rice vinegar white wine vinegar will work too
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce use more or less depending on the brand and how spicy you like it
  • 3 tbsp ketchup
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
To Serve:
  • boiled rice
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • small bunch spring onions/scallions chopped

Method
 

  1. Prepare ingredients. Place the egg in one shallow bowl and the cornflour in another. Add flour, salt, pepper, garlic salt, and paprika to a third shallow bowl and mix.
  2. Heat oil in a wok or large frying pan until hot.
  3. Dredge the chicken in cornflour, then dip it in the egg wash, ensuring full coverage. Finally, dredge in the seasoned flour. Add the chicken to the wok and cook on high heat for 6-7 minutes, turning 2-3 times, until well browned. Cook in batches if necessary. Remove from the pan and place in a kitchen towel-lined bowl.
  4. Add all sauce ingredients to the hot wok. Stir and bubble on high heat until the sauce reduces by about one-third (2-3 minutes). Return the chicken to the wok and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Turn off the heat. Divide the chicken among four bowls. Serve with boiled rice and top with sesame seeds and spring onions.
