CHICKEN

• • 6 Chicken breast fillets ~ cut into cubes or strips
  • ¼ Cup sesame seeds
  • 3 Tablespoons honey
  • 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
  • Cornflour
  • Vegetable or olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 6 eggs 

VEGETABLES

• 1-2 Purple or brown onions ~ halved and sliced
• 1 Red capsicum ~ chopped into strips
• 2-3 Celery stalks (can use the leaves too)
• 2 Cups of  mushrooms ~chopped
• 2-3 bunches bok choy – chopped/shredded (optional)
• Freshly chopped herbs ~ chives, oregano, thyme (or 2 tablespoons of mixed dried herbs).

Using a wok or large frying pan, add a little oil and fry the celery, onion, bok choy and herbs until soft and transparent.  Next add the capsicum and mushrooms. Continue to cook until soft and shiny.  Remove vegetables and place in a bowl aside.

Use any vegetables you like; above is missing the mushrooms and celery!

Chicken Preparation:

In a large mixing bowl beat the eggs and add the chicken pieces to soak for a little while (this can be prepared earlier if you wish and left in the fridge).

In a tray or another large bowl, place 1 cup of corn flour.  Gently coat and toss the egg marinated chicken pieces into the flour.  

Remove pieces, place them on a plate and set aside (you may need to add more cornflour as you go).

In the same wok or large frying pan, drizzle a little oil until hot.  Start frying the chicken in lots until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.  Drain on paper towel and set aside.

In the same wok or fry pan, add the honey, soy sauce and sesame seeds and stir till the honey melts. 

Add the cooked chicken and toss in sauce.
