Method

1. First make the sweet chilli sauce. Add the water to the cornflour and mix them together in a saucepan. Now add all the remaining sauce ingredients to the pan.
2. Bring the contents of the saucepan to the boil, then simmer for 1 minute. Reserve until needed.
3. Divide the coconut oil between a frying pan and a wok, and heat. Add the chicken to the frying pan and the vegetables to the wok. Cook the chicken until it turns brown, then add it to the cooked vegetables.
4. Pour in the homemade Thai sweet chilli sauce and stir. Serve with rice or gluten free noodles* and gluten free soy sauce* to taste.

Hints and tips:

If you decide to serve with noodles, rinse them with cold water once they’re tender to stop them from overcooking. Then toss with a little sesame oil – this helps to prevent clumping.
