Instructions
-
First, make the sauce by mixing all the ingredients.
-
Prepare the chicken and cut it to bite‑size pieces.
In a large pan, heat some oil and fry the chicken for 3‑4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and take it off the heat.
-
Heat new oil in the pan and fry chopped garlic, the green parts of spring onion, chilli pepper and grated ginger. Once golden, add the diced pepper. Fry for 4 more minutes, until the peppers are cooked and tender.
Add the chicken back to the pan, add the sauce and cook over medium heat. The cornstarch in the sauce should make it thicken up.
-
Serve with jasmine rice, sprinkled with spring onion and roasted peanuts. Enjoy!
