Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Before you begin...
Get all your ingredients and equipment ready
Skim through these steps
Wash your fruit and veg
Note: Equipment and pan sizes vary. Make sure you cook food thoroughly (even if it takes you a little longer than 10 mins)
2
Now let's get started!
Deseed the red pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and cut into thin strips
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Boil half a kettle
3
Once hot, add the diced chicken breast, red pepper strips and mange tout with a pinch of salt and cook for 2-3 min or until starting to soften
4
Combine the cornflour with 100ml [200ml]boiled water
Add the tomato ketchup, chilli jam, soy sauce, rice vinegar and 1 tbsp [2 tbsp]sugar and whisk until smooth – this is your sweet & sour sauce
5
Add the ginger & garlic paste to the pan and cook for 1 min
6
Add the sweet & sour sauce and cook for 2-3 min or until thickened and sticky and the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)
Note: Please make sure you cook your chicken thoroughly (until piping hot!) as cooking equipment varies
7
Meanwhile, squeeze the pouch[es] of steamed brown basmati rice to separate the grains
Tear the top corner of the pouch[es] (just a little!) and microwave for 2 min or until piping hot
Tip: if you're cooking two pouches, pop them in together but increase the microwave cook time accordingly
