Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Toss the chicken pieces in the cornflour and season well. Set them aside.

Step 2

Fry the onion in half of the oil in a wok on a low to medium heat, until it softens – about 5-6 minutes – then add the garlic and cook for a minute. Stir in the spices and sugar and cook for another minute. Then add the stock and soy sauce, bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Tip everything into a blender and blitz until smooth.

Step 3

Wipe out the pan and fry the chicken in the remaining oil until it is browned all over. Tip the sauce back into the pan and bring everything to a simmer. Stir in the peas and cook for 5 minutes. Add a little water if you need to thin the sauce. Serve with rice.
