Diced chicken with peanuts and diced carrot; stir-fry broccoli; white rice; tomato salad with garlicky vinaigrette. The trick to tender chicken is to marinate it in egg-white and cornflour, with a little soy sauce and rice wine. Leave it for half an hour or so. First fry the peanuts in a pool of oil (take care or they might burn!), take them out. Then fry the diced carrot slightly, take out. Then fry the chicken in rather a lot of oil and don't start stirring too soon, just let the oil do some work. The chicken dices will kind of stick together, but when you flip them over and separate them with your spoon, all will be fine. This is the moment to add garlic and ginger and some hot bean sauce. Cover everything, then add rice wine, soy and a spoon of sugar. Also, add hot chili flakes. Stir a little more and finish the dish... happy eating.
