Oriental Minced Chicken on Rocket & Tomato Recipe

Ingredients :

Serves 4

• 2 shallots, peeled

• 1 garlic clove, peeled

• 1 carrot, peeled

• 50g / 2oz water chestnuts

• 1 tsp oil

• 350g / 12oz fresh chicken mince

• 1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder

• pinch chili powder

• 1 tsp soy sauce

• 1 tbsp fish sauce

• 8 cherry tomatoes

• 50g / 2oz rocket

Method :

1. Finely chop the shallots and garlic. Cut the carrot into matchsticks, slice the water chestnuts thinly and reserve. Heat the oil in a wok or large, heavy-based frying pan and add the chicken. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes over a moderately high heat, breaking up any large pieces of chicken.

2. Add the garlic and shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Sprinkle over the Chinese five-spice powder and the chili powder and continue to cook for about 1 minute.

3. Add the carrot, water chestnuts, soy and fish sauces and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir-fry for a further 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and reserve to cool slightly.

4. Deseed the tomatoes and cut into thin wedges. Toss with the rocket and divide between four serving plates. Spoon the warm chicken mixture over the rocket and tomato wedges and serve immediately to prevent the rocket from wilting.
