Sweet Lemon Chicken Recipe

Sweet Lemon Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

1 egg white, lightly beaten

2 teaspoons cornflour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon grated ginger

500g (1lb) chicken breast, cut into thin strips

3 tablespoons oil

Lemon Sauce

2 teaspoons corn flour

1 1/2 tablespoons caster sugar

2 tablespoons lemon juice

3/4 cup (185ml/6 fl oz.) chicken stock

2 teaspoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon dry sherry

Directions:

1. Combine the egg white, the corn flour, the salt and the ginger in a bowl. Add all the chicken and mix it well to coat in the marinade. Leave it in the fridge to marinate for about 30 minutes.

2. Heat the oil in a wok, swirling it gently to coat the side. Drain all the chicken, discarding the marinade, and stir-fry it until becomes well-cooked but not really browned and remove from the wok.

3. To make the lemon the sauce and mix the cornflour with 2 tablespoons of water until it becomes a smooth paste. Add to the wok with all the remaining sauce ingredients. Stir it and boil for about 1 minute or so. Return all the chicken to the wok and stir it to coat with all the sauce. You can serve immediately.

Note:

1. Cut all the chicken breast fillets into thin strips on the diagonal - they tend to hold together better.

2. Drain all the chicken from the marinade and stir-fry it until it becomes well cooked but not browned.

3. Mix all the cornflour and some water until it forms a paste and add to the wok with the other sauce ingredients.
