Lime and Thai Spices Chicken
"Inspired by Walker's "Sensations" Lime and Thai spices chicken. This is a rough-draft really, everything was 'eyeballed' so all measurements are approximate. I found it quite enjoyable and not far from the original taste, though I may add more ginger next time. I also found the sauce rather watery but this may be more due to my lack of sauce-thickening skills than anything else! Feedback very appreciated on that point."

ingredients
- 1 large chicken breast, diced into small chunks
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or 1 tablespoon peanut oil

- 1 pinch lime zest
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornflour
directions
- Mix all the sauce ingredients together until smooth and leave aside.
- Heat the oil in a wok (preferably) and add the ginger. Cook until fragrant.
- Add the chicken, cook until white or lightly brown. Add the coriander and toss to ensure a roughly even coating.
- Add all the vegetables other than the 'white' of the spring onion; add this last and only cook it to warm it through.
- Serve over noodles, rice, or the like; in the empty wok quickly heat the sauce mixture, bringing it til the boil. Once it thickens pour it over the chicken and enjoy!

Fairly new to the site and to 'real' cooking - as opposed to 'chuck it int' oven' or 'pasta and a jar of sauce' style cooking. Come here for inspiration and hopefully to learn.
