Ingredients

Switch to Cup Measures
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons plain flour
  • 500 grams chicken thigh fillets (skinless)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2.5 cm fresh root ginger (approximately)
  • 450 ml chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon caster sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
  • salt
  • black pepper

Method

  1. Peel and chop the garlic. Grate the rind and squeeze the juice from the lemon.
  2. Mix together the flour, lemon rind and garlic in a bowl.
  3. Cut the chicken into 5cm pieces. Toss in the flour mixture until well coated. Cover and set aside for 10 mins.
  4. Heat the oil in a large pan (or a wok is good as well) Cook the chicken for about 8-10 mins, stirring occasionally, until golden.
  5. Peel and grate the ginger. Stir into the pan with any remaining flour, the stock and sugar. Bring to the boil and cook for 5 mins, or until the chicken is tender and the sauce is reduced.
  6. Blend the egg yolk and lemon juice and add to the pan, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Stir in the parsley and season. Serve and enjoy!
