Sweet Soy Ginger Chicken

I posted the same sweet soy ginger recipe using pork rashers, but this time I used chicken instead (going for much more healthy and less fatty stuff). This is an easy quick recipe and has been in our big family’s favorite dinner menu for a long time and now I am bringing this menu to my little family for the first time. The verdict from my little family in Sydney is loving it and can’t get enough of it, especially from my little one who loves eating sweet and spicy meals.

Before you start, here are my tips to achieve a perfect Sweet Soy Ginger Chicken:

• Make sure that you cut the chicken into small pieces, so that the juice is easy to be absorbed and the spicy ginger flavour is intense.
• My measurement of sweet soy sauce and water is an approximate, so you could adjust accordingly to suit your taste, as I didn’t really measure when I cook (ooopsss sorry)
• Don’t turn the chicken cutlets too often while they are being cooked as you could ruin the chicken.

Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken (about 1.5 kg), cut into 14 pieces or more
• 3 cloves garlic, sliced thinly
• 2 cloves shallot, sliced thinly
• 2 tbsp of ginger, pureed
• 2 big red chillies, sliced thinly
• 1  tbsp Chinese red vinegar/Ang Ciu
• 1 cup of sweet soy sauce/Kecap Manis
• 1/2 cup of water
• 2 tsp of salt
• 1 spring onion, sliced thinly
• oil to stir frying

Preparation time (duration): 20

Culinary tradition: Indonesian, Chinese
