Instructions
- If serving with rice put the rice onto cook, especially is using a rice cooker (my preferred method).
- Cut up the brown onion and capsicum. Slice the spring onions. Peel and crush the garlic. Grate the ginger (no need to peel). Deseed and finely chop the chillis.
- Measure the tomato sauce, soy sauce, vinegar and chilli sauce into a bowl and mix well.
- Put the flour onto a plate or shallow bowl. Add the salt and pepper and mix well. Put the egg onto a plate or shallow bowl and lightly beat.
- Cut the chicken to cubes and dip into the egg wash, then toss on the flour and shake off any excess flour. Continue until all the chicken is coated.
- Heat up a frying pan with the oil until hot. Add the chicken in batched, cooking until golden brown. Reheat before adding more chicken.
- Remove the chicken, add a dash more oil and stir fry the vegetables. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Reheat the pan and add a dash more oil. Add the garlic, chilli and ginger and stir for a few seconds until fragrant. Add the tomato sauces mix and stir well. If the sauce is a little thick you can add a dash of water.
- Add the chicken and vegetables back into the pan and stir until coated in sauce and heated through.
- Serve with rice and garnish with spring onions. Delicious!
