Chinese salt and pepper chips
35 min
This is my attempt at everyone's favourite Chinese takeaway dish, it's the closest I have managed to get to the great taste of the local Chinese. This recipe can also be used for any meat of your choosing. You can bread and deep-fry chicken or use other meats and add them at the same point as the chips in this recipe.

- Cook your oven chips according to the packet instructions and do the following as they cook:
- Pour the salt into a dry wok and heat over a medium flame for 10 to 15 minutes (that helps bring out the flavour) stiring occasionally. Pour the salt into a bowl to cool.
- Heat the olive oil in the wok then add the onions, peppers, chillies, garlic and ginger and cook for 5 minutes.
- Pour in the sesame oil and soy sauce and add the chips that should be ready now.
