Chicken with lime sauce

Method

1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, mix the cornflour with the soy sauce and pepper. Add the chicken and toss in the mixture to coat well.

2. Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan and stir-fry the chicken until golden brown. Tip out of the wok onto a plate while you make the sauce.

3. For the lime sauce: squeeze the lime juice into a small bowl, add the cornflour and mix well.

4. Heat the oil in the wok or frying pan and fry the garlic and the ginger for 1 minute. Return the chicken to the pan with the lime juice mixture, sugar, salt and coriander.

5. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, then add 75ml water and simmer for 5 minutes.

6. To serve: pile the hot chicken in large lettuce leaves. Serve with boiled rice, a small bowl of soy sauce with slices of red chilli and another bowl of sweet chilli sauce.
