Kung Pao Chicken
  1. Prepare the Kung Pao sauce by mixing together the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, hoisin sauce, white vinegar, granulated sugar, water and cornflour. Set aside.

  2. In a bowl, combine the chicken, egg white, shoaxing rice wine vinegar and a pinch of salt. Add the cornflour and mix well to coat the chicken.

  3. Heat 1 tbsp of groundnut oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add the chicken and fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

  4. Add the remaining 1 tsp of groundnut oil to the pan. Add the red and green peppers, onion, garlic, ginger, spring onions and whole red chillies. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.

  5. Pour in the Kung Pao sauce and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken back to the pan and cook for a further 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through.

  6. Sprinkle over the raw peanuts and the optional crispy chilli oil, if using.

  7. Serve the Kung Pao Chicken immediately with the cooked basmati rice.
