- 1 tablespoon of honey or sugar

- 1 teaspoon of ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of curry
- 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
Instructions for Zesty Chinese Chicken:
First steps:
Cut 500 g chicken breast in dices, 1 leek, then 1 red bell pepper in thin slices and 200g of button mushrooms in half. Clean and chop 1 small fennel, along with a bunch of spring onions or 1 red onion and 4 cloves of garlic.
Next steps:
Grease a frying pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then add the diced chicken breast. Stir and cook over medium-high heat until golden brown. Add the chopped leek, fennel, and onions. Stir and cook until translucent.
Third steps:
Next, add the button mushrooms and the butter. Sauté until they soften. Then reduce the heat and add the garlic, followed by the bell peppers. Continue stirring for approximately 3 more minutes.
Fourth steps:
Add 1 tablespoon of mustard, followed by the honey (or sugar), and pour in the soy sauce. Incorporate all the spices, but be cautious with adding salt, as soy sauce is already salty enough. Then pour 100 ml of pineapple juice, followed by 200 ml of tomato juice. If you do not have pineapple, squeeze 1-2 mandarins.
Last step:
Finally, add the peanuts and the raisins, stir & simmer for 5 minutes.
Serve the Zesty Chinese Chicken Surprise preferably with rice or noodles for a satisfying meal.
