Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel). Pop them onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with the Chinese Five Spice, salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
Pop the cornflour into a large bowl, then add the diced chicken and toss to coat completely in the cornflour.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the chicken to the pan and stir-fry until golden brown on the outside and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
While the chicken cooks, halve any large broccoli stems lengthways. Heat a drizzle of oil in another large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the Tenderstem® and stir-fry for 2-3 mins.
Add a splash of water, then cover with a lid (or foil) and allow to cook until tender, 2-3 mins more. Season with salt and pepper.
Once cooked, transfer to a plate or bowl and cover to keep warm.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the sriracha (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and soy sauce with the ketchup and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).
Once the chicken is cooked, add the ginger puree to the pan and cook until fragrant, 1 min.
Pour in your firecracker sauce, then bring to the boil. Simmer until thickened, 2-3 mins, then remove from the heat.
When everything's nearly ready, trim and thinly slice the spring onion.
Once the wedges are cooked, sprinkle over the chilli flakes (add less if you'd prefer things milder).
Reheat the chicken if necessary, adding a splash of water if it's a little dry.
Share the spicy wedges between your plates with the firecracker chicken alongside, spooning over the remaining sauce from the pan.
Serve with the broccoli alongside and sprinkle with the spring onion to finish.
Enjoy!
