Instructions

1. Put the chicken in a bowl with the egg and mix to coat. Pour off any excess egg and discard it.
2. Add the cornflour, paprika, salt and white pepper to the chicken and mix until it forms a sticky coating.
3. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat until hot.
4. Add the chicken and stir-fry until golden, about 7-8 minutes. Cook in two batches if your pan is small.
5. While the chicken cooks, make the sauce. Mix the cornflour, light and dark soy sauce, garlic and hoisin sauce in a bowl until the cornflour is absorbed.
6. Add the brown sugar, sesame oil and chicken stock and stir until combined. Set aside.
7. When the chicken is cooked through, lift it out with a slotted spoon onto a plate lined with kitchen paper.
8. Carefully pour off the oil, then add the sauce to the pan and heat until bubbling.
9. Return the chicken to the pan, add the cashews and half the spring onions, and stir for 2 minutes to heat the cashews through.
10. Serve with rice, sprinkled with the remaining spring onions, the sesame seeds and a pinch of chilli flakes.
