Requires (for 3 servings):
- 1/2 large white onion.
- 1/2 green pepper.
- 2 spring onions.
- 1 mild red chili pepper.
- 5-spice powder.
- Sesame seeds.
- A small pack of boneless chicken breasts.
- A jiff lemon worth of lemon juice.
- Flour.
- A little wine or cider vinegar (about a tablespoon).
Preparation:
Chop the onion, pepper, spring onions and chili into tiny slices. Cut the chicken into strips.
Cooking:
- Heat oil in wok until it is sizzling, on high heat.
- Throw all chopped veggies in, stir frantically to attain some crispness.
- Add 2 tsp 5-spice powder, and a scattering of sesame seeds.
- Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes, until onion is soft.
- Remove onion from Wok, store in a container.
- Add chicken to Wok (still on high), add 1 tsp 5-spice. Stir until chicken is sealed/dark on all sides.
- Lower heat on Wok to low.
- Put lemon juice and vinegar in a saucepan, heat to the boil. (this is a good time to start the rice, too, if you are also making it). Optionally add sugar; I usually add 1 tablespoon at most. A pinch of salt also helps with flavor.
- Occasionally stir the chicken. When the lemon juice boils, gradually add flour (1tsp at a time, stir thoroughly after adding) until the sauce is starting to thicken.
- Add lemon juice to wok with chicken, re-add vegetables to wok.
- Raise heat to high, and stir. Sauce will continue to boil around chicken/veg.
- After 3 minutes, it's ready to serve.
