In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with the vegetable oil and sea salt. Stir in the egg. Add the flour and cornflour and stir until the chicken is well coated.

Use enough oil to just cover the bottom of a large wok or frying pan. Place over a medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering. Add the chicken in batches and fry for a few minutes on each side until golden. Put the cooked chicken on a plate lined with kitchen paper while you cook the remaining chicken pieces.

Discard all the oil in the pan and carefully wipe it clean with another piece of kitchen paper.

Return the pan to a medium heat and gently fry the garlic, ginger and chilli in a teaspoon of oil for about a minute until fragrant.

Return the chicken to the pan and stir in the sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer and allow it to bubble away for a minute or so until it has thickened slightly and is coating the chicken.
