SZECHWAN FRIED CHICKEN

I first cooked this Charmaine Solomon recipe a few years ago and thought it wa sgreat. I then went on holiday to Singapore and had this dish in a restaurant there and was amazed at how close this recipe is to the restaurant version. Lots of ingredients (as with most good Asian food) but don't be put off, it really is worth the effort.
