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 Blend all marinade ingredients except chicken in a blender.
