  • Dredge the chicken in the cornflour, dip in the egg, then dredge in the seasoned flour. Add to the wok and cook for 6-7 minutes, turning occasionally until well browned.
  • Remove from the pan and place in a bowl lined with kitchen towels.
  • Add all of the sauce ingredients to the hot wok, stir and bubble on high heat until the sauce reduces by a third.
  • Add the chicken back in and toss in the sauce to coat. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and divide between four bowls. Serve with boiled rice and top with sesame seeds and spring onions.
