Easy Lemon Chicken Recipe
I made Lemon Chicken tonight for mine and David's dinner. I watched my Aunty May cook this in her takeaway a few times. I find that decent restaurants will make this with real lemons, but most takeaways will use lemon cordial! I used the lemon cordial version, I will make it with real lemons next time round!
I don't think any fakeaway will taste as good as a real chinese takeaway because of the MSG and salt which most takeaways add to their food. I also made some fried rice.
Ingredients
For the chicken:
Chicken, cut into strips
3 tbsp Cornflour
1 Egg
Oil for shallow frying
100ml Lemon Cordial with about 100ml of water
2 tbsp Corn Flour (mixed with water)
Lemons, sliced (for garnish)

2 eggs Eggs
Handful of Peas

Rice
Pinch of Salt
two tbsp soy sauce
1. Cut the chicken into strips/cubes..etc I used strips
2. Dip in egg, and then coat in corn flour
3. Shallow fry until cooked
3. Heat the lemon cordial and add the cornflour a little at a time, stirring until it's thickened into a sauce
4. Make white rice like you normally would
