Chef tips
The secret to success is double-frying the pieces: once to cook them, then a second quick fry just before serving for an exceptional crunch that stays crispy even under the rich, sticky sauce. For a kosher version, swap the meat for chicken breast or thigh cubes. Children can help garnish with sesame seeds or spring onions. Serve on a bed of white rice to soak up all the lovely flavours.
