General Tso's Chicken

Method

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks and coat with cornflour and beaten egg. Heat the groundnut oil in a large wok or frying pan over high heat and fry the chicken in batches until golden and cooked through, then set aside. In the same pan, stir-fry the garlic, ginger and chilli flakes for 30 seconds until fragrant. Mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, stock and sesame oil, then blend the cornflour with water and stir into the sauce mixture. Pour the sauce into the pan and simmer until thickened, then return the chicken and toss to coat. Garnish with spring onions and serve immediately over steamed rice.
