Instructions
Step 1:
-
Prepare all your fresh vegetables and meat first. Slice the chicken into very thin strips. Chop the onions and mince the garlic well.

Heat the oil in your large wok now. Add the chicken strips to the hot oil. Fry them until they turn golden brown.

Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside. Add the onions to the same hot wok. Cook them until they are soft and clear.
Step 4:
-
Stir in the garlic and the fresh ginger. Cook these for just one minute more. Do not let the garlic turn brown.
Step 5:
-
Add the curry powder and the plain flour. Stir well to coat all the onions. Cook the flour for two minutes slowly.
Step 6:
-
Pour in the chicken stock very slowly now. Stir constantly to avoid any flour lumps. The sauce will start to get thick.
Step 7:
-
Add the soy sauce and the white sugar. Put the cooked chicken back into the wok. Let it simmer for five minutes gently.

Toss in the frozen peas at the end. Cook for two more minutes until hot. Your delicious curry is now ready to serve.
