Serves 4

Ingredients:

2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp tomato puree
1 tbsp tomato sauce
1 tsp chilli sauce
1 tsp malt vinegar
1 tsp sugar
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
450g boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
2 tbsp cornflour
½ tsp turmeric
¼ tsp salt
4 tbsp groundnut or sunflower oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 onion, sliced, plus extra for garnish
1 green chilli, chopped, plus extra sliced, for serving

Preparation:

Stir the soy sauce, tomato puree, tomato sauce, chilli sauce, vinegar, sugar and black pepper together in a small bowl, then set aside.

Put the chicken strips in a large bowl with the cornflour, turmeric and salt and mix well.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok over a medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and fry, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Tip the garlic and onion into the oil remaining in the pan and fry, stirring for 3 minutes.

Add the green chilli and fry for 1 minute. Return the chicken pieces to the pan and fry for a further 1 minute.

Stir in the spicy sauce mixture and stir for 2 minutes, or until the chicken pieces are cooked through. Check by cutting into a piece of chicken – the juices should run clear.

Serve hot topped with the onion slices and sliced green chillies.
