  • 1.5 cm fresh ginger (finely chopped)
  • 2 tbsp tomato puree
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sherry vinegar (or you can use balsamic, white wine, red wine or rice vinegar, just not standard vinegar.)

  • 5 spring onions (roughly chopped)
  • low calorie cooking spray

Instruction

  • Spray a frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and heat gently
  • Add the chicken, sprinkle with the 5 spice and season. Stir and cook until the chicken has started to brown
  • Remove the chicken from the pan, add a few more sprays of low calorie cooking spray then fry off the onions, ginger, garlic and mushrooms
  • Cook until they start to soften
  • Add peppers, baby corn, tomato puree, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and vinegar. Stir then add the Coke/Pepsi. Stir and bring to the boil.
  • Stir in the half a stock cube and the stock pot and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes
  • When the sauce has started to thicken and go a bit syrupy, return the chicken to the pan and stir in the spring onions
  • Simmer for another 10 minutes. Check the consistency and if it's not quite thick enough simmer for a bit longer, until the required consistency is reached
