  • 1 green / Red bell pepper, seeded and cut into squares
  • 1 small tomato, cut into wedges, optional
  • 1 stalk scallion, cut into 2-inch lengths
  • Vegetable oil, for deep frying
  • 300g fillet of chicken , cut into bite size cubes or slices 

 

Batter:

  • 200g tablespoons potato starch / corn flour
  • 2 egg whites beaten in a bowl 

 

Sweet and Sour Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons ketchup

  2. Mix all the sweet & sour sauce ingredients in a jug and whisk until combined. 
  3. Heat up cooking oil in a wok and deep fry the chicken slices . (Shake off the extra batter before frying). Transfer the chicken out on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up the excess oil. Transfer the cooking oil out and leave only 2 tablespoons oil in the wok.
