Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air

Peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and finely chop your ginger

Peel and finely slice (don't chop!) your garlic

Step 1
2.

Peel and roughly slice your brown onion[s]

Deseed your peppers (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and cut into large, bite-sized pieces

Step 2
3.

Add your white long grain rice and cauliflower rice to a pot with a lid with 110ml [175ml] [225ml] cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 12-15 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked

Once done, remove from the heat and set aside (lid on) to steam until serving

Step 3
4.

While the rice is cooking, heat a large, wide-based pan or wok (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat

Once hot, add your diced chicken to the pan and cook for 3-4 min or until browned all over

Step 4
5.

Once the chicken has browned, add the sliced garlic and chopped ginger and cook for 1 min further or until slightly softened

Once slightly softened, add the sliced onion and chopped peppers and cook for 3-4 min further or until beginning to soften

Step 5
6.

Meanwhile, combine your cornflour, toasted sesame oil, soy sauce and red chilli relish in a bowl with 150ml [200ml] [250ml] cold water and give everything a good mix up – this is your Kung Pao sauce

Step 6
7.

Once the veg has started to soften, add your roasted peanuts, ground coriander and chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) to the pan with a very generous grind of black pepper, then cook for 1-2 min further

Add the Kung Pao sauce to the pan and cook for 3-4 min further or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your spicy Kung Pao chicken

Step 7
8.

Serve the spicy Kung Pao chicken with the cooked cauliflower rice to the side

Enjoy!
