  • Soy sauce \u2013 2 tbs<\/span><\/li>

  • Onion \u2013 1 medium, cubed<\/span><\/li>
  • Green capsicum (bell pepper) \u2013 1, cubed<\/span><\/li>
  • Cashew nuts \u2013 2 tbsp (optional but recommended for crunch)<\/span><\/li>
  • Red chilli sauce \u2013 2 tbsp<\/span><\/li>
  • Dark soy sauce \u2013 1 tbsp<\/span><\/li>
  • Tomato ketchup \u2013 1\u00bd tbsp<\/span><\/li>
  • White vinegar \u2013 1 tsp<\/span><\/li>
  • Cornflour \u2013 1 tsp, mixed with 2 tbsp water (for slurry)<\/span><\/li>
  • Oil \u2013 for frying and stir-frying<\/span><\/li>
  • Spring onions \u2013 for garnish (optional)<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

    Instructions<\/span><\/h2>
    1. Marinate the Chicken<\/span>
      <\/span> In a bowl, mix the chicken with soy sauce, salt, pepper, red chilli powder, rice flour, all-purpose flour, and egg white. Set aside for 15\u201320 minutes.<\/span><\/span><\/li>
    2. Fry the Chicken<\/span>
      <\/span> Heat oil in a deep pan (around 1 inch depth). Fry the marinated chicken in batches until golden and crispy. Drain on a paper towel.<\/span><\/span><\/li>
    3. Prepare the Aromatics<\/span>
      <\/span> In a wok, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Add chopped ginger, garlic, and a bit of red chilli paste if using. Saut\u00e9 for 30\u201345 seconds until aromatic.<\/span><\/span><\/li>
    4. Add Vegetables<\/span>
      <\/span> Toss in the onions and capsicum. Stir-fry on high heat for about 1 minute. They should soften slightly but stay crisp.<\/span><\/span><\/li>
    5. Toast Cashew Nuts<\/span>
      <\/span> Add cashews and saut\u00e9 for another 10\u201315 seconds until lightly golden.<\/span><\/span><\/li>
    6. Pour in the Sauces<\/span>
      <\/span> Add red chilli sauce, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well and cook for 10\u201315 seconds.<\/span><\/span><\/li>
    7. Thicken the Sauce<\/span>
      <\/span> Stir in the cornflour slurry and cook for another 15 seconds. The sauce should become glossy and coat the spoon like a glaze.<\/span><\/span><\/li>
    8. Combine with Chicken<\/span>
      <\/span>Add the fried chicken to the wok. Toss everything well so that the sauce coats each piece evenly. Do this just before serving to maintain the crispiness.<\/span><\/span><\/li>
    9. Garnish & Serve<\/span>
      <\/span> Top with chopped spring onions. Serve hot as an appetizer or alongside fried rice or noodles.<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>
