Method:

In a bowl, mix the vinegar and
soy sauce together, then add the
chicken. Marinate for 20 minutes.

In a clean bowl, whisk the
egg and cornflour together to form
a smooth batter.

Dip the chicken in the batter
and turn to coat. Remove from the
batter and allow any excess to
drip back into the bowl. Pour the
oil in a pan over medium heat,
then fry the chicken until golden
brown and cooked. Remove with
a slotted spoon and drain on
a plate lined with paper towel.

SAUCE

In a medium saucepan
over a high heat, combine the
stock, soy sauce, salt and pepper,
vinegar, caster sugar and tomato
sauce. When the mixture starts
to boil, reduce the heat slightly,
then add the peppers and spring
onions. Cook for 4 minutes. In a
small cup, mix the cornflour with
15 ml (1 tbsp) water and add this
to the saucepan.

Add the fried chicken to the
saucepan to heat it then serve with
cooked rice while it’s still hot.
