Some cooking inspriation...

Sticky lemon & sesame chicken

 Ingredients

• 8-10 skinless boneless chicken thighs
• 2 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tblsp peanut/olive oil
• 2 tsp cornflour
• zest and juice 2 large lemons
• 2 tbsp clear honey
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tsp sesame seeds
• cooked noodles or rice, to serve
• cooked greens (such as sugar snap peas and pak choi), to serve

Method

Pour oils into wok or frying pan. Chop chicken into pieces and stirfry in the oil.

To make the sauce:

• Add cornflour into a bowl and whisk in the lemon zest and juice until any lumps disappear.
• Add the honey, soy and sesame seeds and mix again. 

Pour the sauce over the chicken, making sure every piece is well coated – it will still be very runny at this stage.

Cook for another 5-10 mins, spooning the sauce over the chicken every 2-3 mins as it thickens. If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of water and scrape any sticky bits from the bottom of the tin.

Serve with noodles or rice, and vegies, with the extra sauce poured over the top.

ENJOY!!
