Step 1

Cook the rice according to the packet instructions and keep warm.

Step 2

Mix together the chicken with the soy sauce, cornflour and Chinese five-spice. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 3

Heat the oil in a wide, non-stick wok or frying pan and add the onions. Stir-fry over a medium heat for 6–8 minutes, or until softened and lightly browned.

Step 4

Stir in the ginger, garlic and curry powder and stir for 1–2 minutes. Add the coated chicken and stock and simmer for 12–15 minutes. Add the pineapple, water chestnuts and peppers. Cook for 5–6 minutes or until the peppers are just tender and the curry has thickened.

Step 5

Serve in warmed bowls, ladled over the rice.
