Steps:

  • Firstly in a saucepan heat a tbsp of cooking/olive oil on medium heat. Add the diced onion and let them sweat for a couple of minutes. (While the onions are sweating you can put a separate pan of water on to boil for the rice to cook in.)
  • Then add to the onions the garlic, soy sauce, vinegar and tomato puree. Keep stirring this mixture.
  • Mix the corn flour (for the sauce) in the cold water then add to the pan.
  • Stir in the sugar then add your pepper, carrot and pineapple with the juice from the tin. Bring to the boil then simmer for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
  • While the sauce is simmering you can mix up your batter. mix the two flours together and baking powder,gently add iced water, briefly stir- can stay lumpy but do not over stir.
  • Dip your chicken in the batter and deep fry until a golden brown colour. (cut into one of the chicken pieces to ensure it is cooked thoroughly)
  • serve chicken on a plate then pour the sauce over the top.
  • Serve with rice.
  • Also try this recipe with either pork, prawns, vegetables or tofu.
