Chilli plum fried chicken with mixed nuts

Preparation time
30 minutes
Cooking time
30 minutes
Serves
2 people as part of a shared meal

The chicken would be excellent with a fruit-forward Rosé. Choose one with subtly sweet fruit flavours and juicy acidity rather than a super-austere style for a perfect pairing. 

1 chicken breast, cut into 3cm pieces

1 chicken thigh fillet, cut into 3cm pieces

A pinch each of salt, sugar, white pepper

Oil for frying

50g walnuts

50g cashew nuts

50g pine nuts

1 tbsp honey

1½ tbsp potato starch

1½ tbsp plain flour

1 tbsp Lee Kum Kee Garlic Chilli Sauce

100g Lee Kum Kee Plum Sauce

50ml water

Black sesame seeds, to garnish

Chicken marinade

1 lemongrass stem, white part only, chopped

4 cloves garlic, chopped

2 eschallots, chopped

20g ginger, chopped

1 egg

1/2 tsp chicken powder

  1. Blend all marinade ingredients except chicken in a blender. Place in a bowl with chicken and mix well. Marinate in refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry all nuts separately. Drain. Toss walnuts in honey. Cool and roughly chop. Set aside. 
  3. Remove chicken pieces from marinade. Combine potato starch and plain flour in a bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Heat oil to 180°C. Deep fry chicken pieces for 5-8 minutes or until golden and cooked through. 
  4. Heat a frying pan over medium heat, add Lee Kum Kee Garlic Chilli Sauce and Lee Kum Kee Plum Sauce and water. Bring to the boil, stirring until it thickens. Add chicken, toss to coat in sauce. 
  5. Place half the chopped nuts on serving plate, add chicken, top with remaining nuts. 
  6. Garnish with black sesame seeds.

David Thompson’s Country beef curry with chillies and holy basil
With its abundance of red fruit flavours, the Tahbilk Grenache Shiraz Mourvèdre 2015 from Nagambie will complement the chillies in this dish. Velvety smooth, it has a seasoning of clove and kitchen spice, fine savoury tannin depth and savoury length.
Food
Lyndey Milan’s Middle Eastern vegetable tart
You could easily pair a number of different wines with the tart, however, why not keep it ‘local’ and open a Tempranillo . This issue’s 2015 example from First Creek is ideal. Medium weight, dry and savoury, it has a slightly meaty note, some raspberry and vanilla characters and loads of sweet oak. A great all-rounder with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food.
