1/2 TBS salt
1/2 TBS pepper
1/2 TBS garlic powder
2 TBS paprika
2# chicken breast fillets chopped into bite-size chunks

Sauce

1/2 tsp sesame oil optional - you can leave out and just sprinkle with plenty of sesame seeds at the end if you prefer

Directions:
Directions:
Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan until very hot.
Whilst the oil is heating, place the egg in one shallow bowl and some cornstarch in another shallow bowl. Add the 1/2 c cornstarch, flour, salt, pepper, garlic salt and paprika to another shallow bowl and mix together.
Dredge the chicken in the cornstarch, then dip in the egg (make sure all of the chicken is covered in egg wash), and finally dredge it in the seasoned flour. Add to the wok and cook on a high heat for 6-7 minutes, turning two or three times during cooking, until well browned. You will need to cook in two or three batches . Remove from the pan and place in a bowl lined with kitchen towels.
Add all of the sauce ingredients to the hot wok, stir and bubble on a high heat until the sauce reduces by about a third (should take 2-3 minutes). Add the chicken back in and toss in the sauce to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
Turn off the heat and divide between four bowls. Serve with boiled rice and top with sesame seeds and spring onions.
