INGREDIENTS:
2 small chicken breasts with skin on
2 tbsp Chinese rice wine vinegar
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp ginger, thinly sliced
2 small shallots
1 cinnamon stick
3 whole star anise pods
6 cloves garlic
SEASONINGS:
3 tbsp Yeo’s Dark Soy Sauce
1/3 cup palm sugar
½ tsp salt
PREPARATION METHOD:
- Rub the chicken breasts with the rice wine vinegar and hold until required.
- Heat oil in a small deep sided saucepan and add the sliced ginger and shallots. Stir-fry until lightly browned, and then add the palm sugar, cinnamon, star anise and cloves.
- When the sugar caramelizes, add the chicken breasts and brown on all sides. Add the dark soy, salt and enough water to cover half the chicken.
- Remove from heat then simmer uncovered in a 180°C oven for 20 minutes, turning often. Add a little water if the sauce reduces too quickly.
- Remove the chicken when cooked and slice each breast into 4 pieces. Skim away all the fat from the surface of the sauce. Serve the sliced chicken with steaming hot rice and bowl of the strained sauce.
