1 small clove garlic (in the video, I'm using homemade garlic ginger paste)

2 ½ cm ginger (in the video, I'm using homemade garlic ginger paste)

2-3 chillies (I like to use a mix of green and red for a combination of flavour)

3 Tbsp vegetable oil (or any neutral flavoured oil)

125 ml water

2 Tbsp sweet chilli sauce (non spicy variety)

1 Tbsp dark soy sauce

Hướng dẫn

Marinate the Chicken

cut

If your chicken isn't already in small pieces, cut it up into bite-sized pieces.

marinate

Sprinkle the turmeric and salt over the chicken and rub in well.Leave aside to marinate while you get everything else ready.

Aromatics and Pepper

peel

Peel and halve the onion.Peel the garlic and ginger. Chop the ginger into 2 pieces for easier grinding.Roughly chop up the chillies

pound

Place everything into a food chopper or mortar and chop/pound until fairly fine.

chop

Chop the bell pepper up into a similar size to that of the chicken.

Let's get Cooking

heat

Heat the oil up on medium-high heat in a wok or deep frying pan, and brown the chicken pieces for 3 minutes, flipping them a couple of times.

fry

Push the chicken to one side, turn the heat down to medium and tip the pounded ingredients in. Fry this paste for 2 minutes, stirring a couple of times.You could take the chicken out first if you like, but why not use just 1 cooking pan for a change?

flip

When the paste has had 2 minutes, flip the chicken onto it and mix.

mix

Add the peppers, water, sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce and honey and mix well. Bring to a simmer. Then reduce the heat to low and cook the chicken for 10 minutes, stirring here and there. The chicken pieces will be done at the end of this time.Check seasoning and add more salt if necessary. You could also add more chilli sauce and honehy to your taste.Want more sauce? Add more water. But you will have to increase the seasoning too.Serve immediately.
