3. Prepare the Gravy:

-Add soy sauce, chilli vinegar, and mix well.
-Pour in the corn flour slurry, salt, and pepper powder. Stir consistently to avoid lumps.

4. Combine and Serve:

-Toss the chicken in the gravy for 5-10 seconds, ensuring it is well-coated.
-Turn off the heat and garnish with spring onion leaves.

Tips for Best Results:
----------------------
-For a thicker gravy, let it boil longer; for thinner gravy, add extra water.
-Garlic can be added for additional flavour during the sautéing stage.
-Store leftover chilli vinegar in the fridge for future use in other Chinese recipes.
