• 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 80ml water
• Juice of 2 lemons

• 3 tablespoons of DrBeekeeper honey
• 2 tablespoons of grated ginger and 1 inch of finely sliced ginger
• 3 crushed cloves of garlic
• Handful of finely sliced spring onions
• 3 red chillies and 1 tsp crushed dry chilli (add more for extra heat, or less for a milder dish)
Method
- Juice the lemons into a bowl, add the chilli sauce, soy sauce, water and cornflower and stir together. Set aside.
- Cut the chicken breast into thin strips, add salt, black pepper and the flour and coat the chicken. Set aside.
- In a wok heat 2 tbsp of your rapeseed or sunflower oil.
- Add the crushed garlic and fry the chicken until it is golden brown. This will take around 8 mins. Then add the grated ginger and fresh red chilli.

Keep stirring and bring to the boil, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. This will take 3 or 4 minutes.
