CHINESE SWEET & SOUR CHICKEN

Steps:

• Start by whisking the egg white, cornflour, sherry and salt together until it is creamy smooth.
• Coat the chicken with this marinade and allow to marinate for 24 hours.
• When ready to cook, heat about 10cm (4 inches) of rapeseed oil in a large wok. The oil is ready when a piece of spring onion sizzles quickly when you toss it in the oil.
• Working in batches, remove as much of the marinade from the chicken pieces as you can and then roll them in the cornflour. Shake to discard any excess flour.
• Slowly lower each piece of chicken into the oil and fry for about two minutes. The chicken should be 80% to 90% cooked but still pink in the middle.
• Transfer the chicken pieces from the oil to paper kitchen towels to soak up the excess oil.
• Mix the sauce ingredients together.
• All of this and the vegetable preparation can be done a day in advance if you are pressed for time.
• Now heat the sesame oil over high heat in a wok and add the garlic, ginger, chillies and spring onions. Let these sizzle in the hot oil while stirring continuously.
• After about two minutes, add the capsicum and onion pieces and fry for a further couple of minutes.
• Pour in the sauce and bring to a rolling simmer and then add the par-cooked chicken pieces.
• Stir in the cornflour mixture and stir. This will bring a nice shine to the sauce.
• When the chicken is cooked through, check for seasoning, adding salt if necessary and serve. This goes so well with plain white rice.
