Instructions

Cook the Bulgur Wheat
1

Pour the water for the bulgur (see pantry for amount) into a large saucepan, stir in the chicken stock paste and bring to the boil.

Stir in the bulgur, bring back up to the boil and simmer for 1 min. Pop a lid on the pan and remove from the heat.

Leave to the side for 12-15 mins or until ready to serve.

Get Prepped
2

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 

Halve the baby corn lengthways.

Halve, peel and chop the onion into 2cm chunks.

Trim and thinly slice the spring onion.

Coat the Chicken
3

Sprinkle the cornflour into a mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper.

Add the diced chicken and toss to coat thoroughly. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

Get Frying
4

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the chicken and fry until golden brown on the outside and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. 

Once the chicken is cooked, transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper.

Wipe out the (now empty) frying pan and return to medium heat with a drizzle of oil.

Once hot, add the baby corn and onion and stir-fry until golden, 4-5 mins.

Simmer and Stir
5

Add the chicken back into the pan along with the garlic and young pea pods and stir-fry, 1 min more.

Stir the rice vinegar, ketjap manis, ketchup, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for all three amounts) into the pan.

Simmer until the sauce has thickened, 2-3 mins.

Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Remove from the heat. TIP: The sauce should be sticky, but add a splash more water if you'd like.

Finish and Serve
6

When everything's ready, fluff up the bulgur wheat with a fork and share between your bowls.

Top with the sticky chicken and sprinkle over the spring onion to finish.
