Instructions

1

Halve the red pepper, discard the core and seeds and slice thinly.
Drain the pineapple, reserving the juice. Chop the pineapple into small chunks.

2

Heat a splash of oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium high heat.
Add the diced chicken and sprinkle over the cornflour. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir-fry until seared all over, 3-4 mins.
Add the red pepper and stir-fry until softened, 2-3 mins. Tip: Add a splash more oil if the pan is dry.

3

Add the mange-tout and pineapple chunks, stir to combine.
Stir in the sweet and sour paste, garnish, rice vinegar, 2 tbsp pineapple juice per person and the water (amount specified in the ingredient list).
Simmer until thickened and glossy and the chicken is cooked through, 3-4 mins. Tip: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

4

A few minutes before you are ready to serve, squeeze the pouch, tear strip and microwave the rice at 800W for 2 mins (or stir-fry for 3 mins in a dry frying pan over a medium-high heat).

5

Taste the sweet and sour chicken for seasoning and add more salt and pepper if necessary.

6

Serve the rice in bowls topped with the sweet and sour chicken. Enjoy!
