Directions

Cut chicken into small pieces. Mix cornflour, salt and egg together. Whisk together with ½ cup cold water until all the lumps have been dissolved. 

Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil on a medium to high heat. Dip chicken pieces into cornflour and egg mix. Fry a few pieces at a time in the hot oil. Cook pieces for 2-3 minutes until crispy and golden. Drain pieces on clean dry kitchen paper. Repeat cooking all the pieces of chicken. 

Cook the rice while chicken is cooking, in boiling water for 10-12 minutes until tender. 

Remove the oil from the frying pan. Add the hoisin sauce, tomato sauce and brown sugar. Heat through until sauce is bubbling. Place the chicken pieces back into the pan and toss to combine. 

Break the Leaderbrand Iceberg Lettuce apart and remove the whole outer leaves. Refresh in ice cold water. 

Serve the lettuce cups filled with rice, chicken pieces, sliced peppers, spring onions and mung bean sprouts. Accompany with sweet chilli sauce and limes.
