The dish taste much better when you deep fry the chicken as opposed to
shallow frying it.
Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle the chicken
with corn starch, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper and
combine well.
Set aside for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile in a wide-mouthed pan, heat the 3 tb oil to the smoking
point.
When the oil is hot, tip in the chicken pieces and saute in oil until
they become white on the outside and slightly tender. About 3 to 5
minutes.
Remove the chicken pieces and drain on a paper towel.
In the same pan, add 1 tb oil and on high heat add the crushed garlic
and ginger julians.
Saute for 2 minutes and add the sliced onions.
Saute the onions until they are soft and translucent but not brown.
Next, add the whole red chillies, chicken, soya sauce, hot & sweet
tomato chili sauce, salt, and red chilli powder to the pan and cook
on high heat until the chicken pieces are tender. About 8 to
10 minutes.
Add the diced capsicum now (if using).
Once the chicken is cooked, remove from heat and add the vinegar.
Transfer to a bowl and garnish with few green chillies.
Serve warm with steamed rice or chow mein/hakka noodles.
