Fiona Uyema's Sweet & Sour Chicken

INGREDIENTS:

2 chicken breasts, cut into cubes

Cornflour

Preferred oil

Red onion, peeled & cut into chunks

Half red pepper, de-seeded & cut into chunks

Half yellow, de-seeded & cut into chunks

Freshly steamed rice, to serve

 

For the sauce:

3 tbsp honey

3 tbsp rice vinegar

3 tbsp tomato ketchup or passata

Soy sauce, to season

Handful of sesame seeds

 

METHOD:

1. In a small bowl mix together the ingredients for the sauce. Transfer to a small saucepan and place on a low heat to simmer and allow flavours to develop.

2. Add a generous amount of oil to a wok and bring to a high heat.

3. Put a few tablespoons of cornflour on a large plate and coat the chicken cubes in cornflour. Shaking off any excess cornflour, carefully place the chicken pieces in the hot oil. Fry for a few minutes until cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to absorb excess oil.

4. Toss the mixed vegetables into the wok and fry for a few minutes on a high heat.

5. Pour the sauce over all the ingredients and mix, reduce the heat to avoid the sauce burning.

6. Serve with freshly steamed rice.
