method

neat the on in a wok or large trying pan until very hot.

 

Whilst the oil is heating, place the e in one shallow bowl and the cornflo in another shallow bowl. Add the flour,

salt, pepper, garlic salt and paprika to another shallow bowl and mix.

 

Dredge the chicken in the cornflour, then dip in the egg (make sure all of the chicken is covered in egg wash), and finally dredge it in the seasoned flour. Add to the wok and cook on a high heat for 6-7 minutes, turning ^ or three times during cooking, unti o well browned. You may need to coon in two batches (I find I can do it in

batch so long as it's no more than 3 chicken breasts). Remove from the pan and place in a bowl lined with kitchen towels.

 

Add all of the sauce ingredients to the hot wok, stir and bubble on a high heat until the sauce reduces by ab o a third (should take 2-3 minutes). Add the chicken back in and toss in the

sauce to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

 

Turn off the heat and divide between four bowls. Serve with boiled rice and top with sesame seeds and spring onions.
