Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 skinless chicken breasts, diced
1 tablespoon reduced salt soy sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 large free-range egg
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
2 small red chiles, thinly sliced
2 peppers (1 red, 1 green), deseeded and sliced
2 medium zucchini, cut into batons
300 milliliters (1 1/4 cups) chicken stock
2 tablespoons reduced salt soy sauce
4 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons tomato puree
1 tablespoon caster sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Toss the chicken pieces in a bowl with the soy sauce. In a separate bowl, whisk the cornstarch and egg together to form a batter.
  • Heat the oil in a wok. Dip the chicken into the batter and fry over a high heat for 4 to 5 minutes until golden and crisp and just cooked. Scoop out with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Add the chiles and peppers to the pan and fry for 3 to 4 minutes before adding all the sauce ingredients except, for the cornstarch. Simmer over a high heat for 5 minutes, then blend 2 to 3 tablespoons of the sauce with the remaining cornstarch in a cup until smooth. Return to the pan and bubble until the sauce thickens.
  • Return the chicken to the pan and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the chicken is sticky and coated. Serve in deep bowls.
  • Meanwhile steam the zucchini batons for 2 to 3 minutes, then divide between four bowls. Serve with the hot and sour chicken.
