  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a small saucepan or deep frying pan over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Coat the marinated chicken pieces in the potato starch, shaking off any excess.

  4. 4

    Fry in batches for 6–7 minutes, turning, until golden and cooked through, then drain on kitchen paper.

    Taste and adjust the seasoning.

  6. 6

    Serve over the shredded cabbage, scattered with sesame seeds and a lemon wedge.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 350 g chicken thigh, 1 white cabbage and ¾ lemon. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
