Firecracker Chicken

Instructions

Marinade

1. Finely grate the garlic and ginger. Cut the chillis into thin slices. Place all the marinade ingredients in a bowl.
2. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add to the marinade.
3. Leave to marinate in the fridge for at least an hour, but 4-8 hours would be preferable.

Cooking

1. Start cooking the rice.
2. In the meantime, chop the onion and bell pepper into large, bite-sized pieces
3. Heat the sesame oil in a pan and fry the drained chicken in it. Too much marinade here would lead to burnt sugar.
4. When the chicken is almost cooked, add the onion and the rest of the marinade. Depending on the desired thickness of the sauce, keep adding a little water from now on.
5. Cut the peas in half and add the peppers to the pan.
6. Add the peas to the pan just before the rice is ready. Do not cook for too long as they should remain crunchy.
7. Serve as shown in the picture. Chop the green part of a spring onion and sprinkle over the top. Sprinkle cayenne pepper over the rice and sesame seeds over everything. Serve with a wedge of lime.
