1 tbsp Ginger puree
2 tbsp Tomato ketchup
6 tbsp Soy sauce
1 tsp Chinese five spice
1/2 tsp Chilli flakes
1/2 tsp Garlic granules

Rice
Sliced red chillies

Metric - Imperial

Instructions

Place all of the ingredients, apart from the red pepper, spring onions and cornflour, into the slow cooker. Give it a good stir, put the lid on and then cook on HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for 5 hours.
Put the cornflour into a small bowl and add enough liquid from the slow cooker to make a smooth paste (slurry). Pour back into the slow cooker.
Add the red pepper and spring onions, season with sea salt to taste, and cook on high for 30 more minutes.

Notes

Pepper: This dish is often made using Sichuan peppercorns rather than regular black pepper. If you’d like to try them, substitute the black peppercorns.

To serve: You can eat this with a variety of sides, including egg noodles, rice noodles, rice, my Egg Fried Rice, chilli sauce and prawn crackers.

Peppers: I like to add the peppers right at the end of the cooking time so they are still fairly crunchy. If you prefer them softer, you can add them for the slow cook.

Salt: As this is 'Salt & Pepper Chicken', we do want a level of saltiness to the finished dish, however the amount of sea salt you add should depend on the saltiness of your soy sauce and your preference. Add a little at time until you get the flavour just right.
