Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch/cornflour
- 3 chicken breasts boneless & skinless, cut into pieces
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 bell peppers roughly chopped, any variety
- 1 large onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup Chinese rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 5 to10 Peppadew Piquante Peppers
- small can of pineapple chunks
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add the chicken, cornstarch, salt and pepper, toss together to coat the chicken.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan or wok over medium high heat. When the oil is hot, add in the chicken and stir fry for 5-6 minutes until lightly browned.
- Add the onions and peppers and fry for a further two minutes
- Add the garlic and cook a further minute.
- Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sweet chili sauce, and tomato ketchup. Cook tossing everything together to form the sauce and continue to cook until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Stir in the Piquante Peppers and pineapple and cook until warmed through.
- Serve with rice or noodles.
Notes
- Prepare all your ingredients before heating the wok. Things move quickly when making a stir-fry, so have everything cut and measured before you start cooking.
- Use high heat. Heat the wok on high before adding the oil (unless you are using nonstick cookware). This will help prevent sticking to the pan.
- Once you add the oil, spread it around the pan to coat well and use oil with a high smoke point such as Vegetable or Peanut oil.
