Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 0.5 cup Cornflour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 medium Capsicum, finely chopped
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Tomato ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Chili sauce
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, combine cornflour, egg, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and mix well until they are thoroughly coated.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.
In a separate pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped capsicum and onion, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
In a bowl, mix together the tomato ketchup, vinegar, chili sauce, chicken broth, and honey.
Pour the sauce mixture into the pan with the vegetables. Bring to a simmer and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the fried chicken pieces to the sauce and stir well to coat evenly.
Cook for an additional 3 minutes to ensure the chicken absorbs the flavors of the sauce.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot with rice or noodles.
