Preparation

Step 1

To make the stir-fry sauce, combine the chili oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, spring onions, soy sauce and water in a bowl.

Place cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water in zip top bag and add the chicken in batches, shaking to cover all sides.

When all your chicken is coated, heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add peanut oil and then stir-fry the coated chicken.

When your stir fry is ready to plate add the combined sauce ingredients into the wok or pan and then add the cornstarch slurry. Stir over heat until it reaches saucy consistency and serve.
