Method

  1. Step 1 - Marinate the Chicken
    Mix cornflour, plain flour, black pepper, garlic powder and chilli powder in a bowl. Dip chicken strips in beaten egg then coat thoroughly in the flour mixture. Leave for 10 minutes.
  2. Step 2 - Fry Until Golden
    Heat oil in a deep pan or wok until very hot. Fry chicken strips in batches for 4-5 minutes until deeply golden and crispy. Drain on kitchen paper and set aside.
  3. Step 3 - Make the Dragon Sauce
    In a hot wok fry garlic, ginger and red chilli for 1 minute. Add Khao Chi Schezwan Sauce, Dark Soy Sauce, honey, rice vinegar and water. Simmer for 2 minutes until bubbling. Stir in cornflour mixture and cook until thick and glossy.
  4. Step 4 - Wok Fry the Vegetables
    In a separate wok heat oil until smoking. Add capsicums and spring onions and toss for 2-3 minutes until slightly charred but still crunchy.
  5. Step 5 - Bring It Together
    Add crispy chicken strips into the dragon sauce and toss until every piece is fully coated and sticky. Add the wok vegetables and toss briefly.
  6. Step 6 - Finish & Serve
    Plate over steamed rice, scatter with sesame seeds, fresh coriander and extra chilli. Serve immediately while hot and crispy
