Ingredients
1 clove garlic
1 lemon
2 tablespoons plain flour
500g of boneless and skinless chicken
3 tablespoons of olive oil
2,5cm piece of root ginger
450ml chicken stock
1 teaspoon caster sugar
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper
Steps
- Peel and chop garlic. Grate the rind and squeeze the juice from the lemon. Mix together the flour, lemon rind and garlic in a bowl. Cut the chicken into 5cm pieces. Toss in the flour mixture until well coated. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a large pan or wok. Cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden.
- Peel and grate the ginger. Stir into the pan with any remaining flour, the stock and the sugar. Bring to the boil and cook for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the sauce is reduced.
- Blend the egg yolk and the lemon juice and add to the pan, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Stir in the parsley and season.
