Speedy Sweet and Sour Chicken
with cashew and coriander topped jasmine rice
More than just a type of sauce, the term sweet and sour actually refers to a popular cooking method particularly prominent in East and Southeast Asia. Like traditional sweet and sour dishes from these regions, the sauce that coats the chicken and veg in this recipe is slightly sweet with just the right amount of tanginess.

Cooking Steps
1
- Boil a large pot of salted water for the rice.
- Add the rice and cook for 12-15 mins then drain in a sieve and pop back in the pot. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.
- Meanwhile, halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
- Halve and peel the onion, then cut each half into 3 wedges.
- Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
2
- Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the pan and season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
- Fry until starting to brown, 5-7 mins.
3
- Add the onion and pepper to the pan and fry until softened stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins.
- Stir in the ketjap manis, vinegar, tomato paste and 100ml water (double for 4p).
- Leave to simmer until sauce is thickened and the chicken is cooked through, 3-5 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Once cooked, add 2 tbsp sugar (double for 4p) to the sauce and season to taste with salt and pepper.
4
- Divide the rice between deep bowls.
- Top with the sweet and sour chicken.
- Garnish with chopped coriander and cashews.
