A distinguished culinary classic crafted with authentic techniques and finest ingredients, offering rich depth of flavour and elegant presentation.
Ingredients
- • 500 g diced chicken breast
- • 1 onion (diced)
- • 1 medium carrot (peeled and finely sliced)
- • 3 tomatoes (each cut into 6 wedges)
- • 2 cloves of garlic (crushed)
- • 1/2 tsp Chinese 5 spice
- • 3 tbsp light soy sauce
- • 3 tbsp tomato puree
- • 2 tbsp honey
- • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (or Henderson's Relish)
- • 2 tsp rice vinegar
- • 150 ml water
- • 2 spring onions (finely sliced)
- • low calorie cooking spray
Preparation Steps
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, tomato puree, honey, rice vinegar and Worcestershire sauce, and leave to one side.
Spray the wok with low calorie cooking spray and, over a medium to high heat, quickly stir fry the chicken for 2 minutes to seal the meat.
Add the onions and continue cooking for 4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the garlic and Chinese 5 spice, and cook for a minute stirring well to coat the chicken in the spice.
Stir in the sauce you made in step 1 and then add 150ml of water.
Add the carrots and tomatoes.
When the sauce starts to bubble, reduce the heat and allow it to simmer for 6-8 minutes, until the tomatoes and carrots are softened and the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
Sprinkle the spring onions on top and serve with boiled rice.
