  • Peel and chop the garlic. Grate the rind and squeeze the juice from the lemon.
  • Mix together the flour, lemon rind and garlic in a bowl.
  • Cut the chicken into 5cm pieces. Toss in the flour mixture until well coated. Cover and set aside for 10 mins.
  • Heat the oil in a large pan (or a wok is good as well) Cook the chicken for about 8-10 mins, stirring occasionally, until golden.
  • Peel and grate the ginger. Stir into the pan with any remaining flour, the stock and sugar. Bring to the boil and cook for 5 mins, or until the chicken is tender and the sauce is reduced.
  • Blend the egg yolk and lemon juice and add to the pan, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Stir in the parsley and season. Serve and enjoy!
