Steps

1

Preheat fryer to 180 degrees. Place chicken in a bowl, add splash soy sauce then flour and cornflour and coat well until fully covered. Place chicken strips in fryer approx 6 at a time. Frying too much reduces temperatures and affects chicken texture. They only take few minutes. When all chicken golden brown set aside in oven at 100 degrees.
2

For the sauce, add cornflour, water, chilli sauce, soy sauce and honey to a bowl and mix well. Add lemon juice and lemon zest. Heat pan and add sesame oil, garlic, ginger and chilli. Stir fry for few minutes and add all sliced vegetables and the honey chilli sauce, cooking for 1-2 minutes. If sauce thickens too much add a little water to pan.
3

Add chicken strips to sauce and mix well. Add cashew nuts and coriander and give quick toss before serving with boiled rice.
