Ingredients

Scale
  • 200gm chicken breast or thigh, cut into thin slices
  • 1 tbsp cornflour
  • 1 green pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 spring onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 spring onion, sliced very fine (to be used as garnish)
  • 3 basil leaves, chopped
  • 1 red chilli
  • Rice

Honey-Soy Sauce:

  • 1 red chilli, chopped fine
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 large knob ginger, minced fine or grated
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp boiling water
  • 1/2 tsp cornflour

Instructions

  1. Prepare noodles or rice to packet instructions. Set aside.
  2. Combine honey-soy sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
  3. Coat chicken pieces in cornflour, shake off excess. Heat a good amount of vegetable oil in a frying pan or wok and cook chicken until just done (be careful not to brown). Remove, leaving oil in the pan and set chicken aside.
  4. Add vegetables to the oil, tossing around to keep the cooking motion even so vegetables don’t brown. After a few minutes add a splash of water to create steam, keep tossing vegetables until steam has evaporated, about a minute or so.
  5. Return chicken to the pan, pour the sauce into the centre and toss quickly to cover meat and vegetables evenly.
  6. Remove from heat and stir through basil. Transfer to bowls along with rice. Garnish with extra thinly sliced spring onion.
