This is a super tasty 30 minute meal - healthier than a takeaway and so yummy!
There are quite a lot of ingredients in this one but hopefully most of them are already in your cupboard.

INGREDIENTS…
Serves 3
• To marinade the chicken:
3 chicken fillets, in small chunks
1 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cornflour
Salt and pepper
• For the sauce:
4 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1/2 tbsp hoisin sauce
4 tsp sugar/sweetener
1 tsp cornflour
1 tsp onion granules
8-10 tbsp boiling water
Pinch chilli flakes (optional)
Spray veg oil
1 tbsp ginger puree
1 chilli, finely sliced (optional)
2 peppers, sliced
1 carrot, cut into fine pieces
1/2 punnet mushrooms, sliced
3-4 spring onions, sliced
Handful roasted peanuts (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS…
Add the chicken and marinade ingredients into a medium bowl. Mix well and marinate for 10-60 mins in the fridge.
In another bowl mix the sauce ingredients together until the sugar dissolves, then set aside.
Spray a large non-stick pan with veg oil over a medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer onto a plate and set aside.
Spray the pan with more oil. Add the ginger and chopped chilli (if adding) and cook for 1 minute. Then add the peppers, carrot and mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Pour the sauce into the pan and bring it to a boil while stirring. Once it starts to thicken, add the chicken back in and mix well cooking for about 2 minutes.
Stir in the spring onions and peanuts, if adding. Cook for a further 2 minutes to warm through.
Serve with boiled rice and/or chips!
