Ingredients
- 3 tbsp of soy sauce
- 4 tsp of all-purpose flour
- 14 oz of chicken breasts, sliced into bite-sized chunks
- For the Tamarind Sauce:
- ⅓ cup of water
- 2 tbsp of fish sauce
- 2 tbsp of brown sugar
- 2 tsp of tamarind paste
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 1 green chile pepper, adjust to your spice preference
- ½ tsp of freshly grated ginger
Step 1
Combine soy sauce and flour in a spacious bowl, ensuring a smooth blend. Next, introduce the chicken and coat it thoroughly with the mixture.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, create a delightful concoction by mixing water, fish sauce, brown sugar, and tamarind paste.
Step 3
Prepare your wok by heating oil over a medium-high flame. Infuse the air with the aromas of garlic, chile pepper, and ginger as you stir-fry them for a brief 1 to 3 minutes. Retrieve the chicken from its marinade and join it in the wok, stir-frying for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in half of the tantalizing tamarind sauce mixture and continue the stir-frying process until the liquid evaporates. Then, incorporate the remaining sauce, cooking until the chicken is tender and the sauce reaches your preferred thickness, a journey that may take 10 to 15 minutes more.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Start by properly marinating your chicken in a delicious tamarind sauce. Make sure to use an airtight container to seal in all the flavors.
- 2. To keep your tamarind chicken fresh and flavorful, store it in the coldest part of your refrigerator. The cold temperature will help preserve the taste of the dish.
