Sticky Sweet Chili Chicken


Caramelise /kar(ə)məlʌɪz/ verb The browning of sugar, a process used extensively in cooking for the resulting nutty flavour and brown color. As the process occurs, volatile chemicals are released, producing the characteristic caramel flavor.

Ingredients:
  • 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 chicken breast fillets, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup of kecap manis 
  • 1/4 cup of sweet chili
  • 1 tbsp of crushed garlic
  • 1 tbsp of crushed ginger
  • 1 tbsp of honey
  • 1/4 cup of finely sliced coriander
  • White ends of 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
Method:
  1. Heat a medium wok over high heat, add the extra virgin olive oil and swirl around to coat the pan.
  2. Once the oil is hot add the chicken and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes or until the chicken is browned and half cooked. 
  3. Turn down to a medium heat and add the kecap manis, sweet chili, garlic, ginger, honey, and spring onions. Stir fry for 5-10 minutes or until the sauce caramelises and the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Serve immediately with rice or store in the fridge for up to five days.
