3 chicken breast fillets, chopped into chunks
2 eggs, lightly beaten
½ cup corn flour

¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup rice vinegar

Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks. Get 3 bowls ready.

Dip the chicken in the cornflour, then dip in the egg, and finally dip it in the seasoned flour.

Remove chicken from the pan and place on kitchen towel.
Sauce
Add all the sauce ingredients to the hot wok or pan, stir and simmer on high heat for 2-3 minutes until the sauce reduces and caramelises.
