Ingredients

Instructions

1. Place the chicken in a bowl, sprinkle with the cornflour and toss with a fork or your hands until coated.
2. Break the egg into the bowl and mix thoroughly with a fork. Discard any egg that pools at the bottom.
3. Sprinkle on the flour, then the salt, pepper, garlic salt and paprika. Mix with your hands until the chicken is well coated; it will be sticky.
4. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan until hot.
5. Add the chicken and cook on high heat for 6 to 7 minutes, turning two or three times, until well browned. Cook in two batches if the pan is crowded.
6. Once browned, add the plum slices, peppers and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring often, until the plum starts to soften.
7. Add all the sauce ingredients (tomato paste, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sweet chilli sauce, dark soy sauce, chilli flakes and pineapple juice) and stir. Bubble on high heat for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce reduces by about a third.
8. Turn off the heat, divide between four bowls, and serve with rice.
