Christine's tomato chicken

Thank you to wonderful Christine, whose amazing blog provides me with all of the Chinese recipes I could ever wish for. Screw Ken Hom and his hot wok!

This dish is what Christine calls chicken in tomato sauce and it's my dinner for tonight.

First, the chicken is marinated in the standard seasonings - soy, rice wine, sesame oil, cornflour. Then you chop/slice/dice some fresh tomatoes (I used 2 big tomatoes and about 6 cherry tomatoes) and mince some garlic.

Fry the chicken, set aside. Fry the garlic, add the tomatoes, stir fry until soft. Then add the chicken back in, add a tablespoon of tomato sauce or tomato paste mixed with a half cup of water and a bit of sugar and stir it all about.

Add some thickening (1tsp cornflour with water/soy) and stir a bit more.

It was pretty amazing - thanks, Christine!
