Chicken in Sweet Soy Sauce
This is an Indonesian dish from a good friend and sounds delicious, on my to cook list. This recipe uses basic, everyday readily available ingredients.
Ingredients
- 800 grams chicken thighs, or legs, or wings, ( 1¾ lb)
- 6 tablespoons cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon course ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce
Instructions
- Rub the chicken pieces well with the pepper and nutmeg.
- Heat a large non stick pan on medium heat and when hot, add the chicken and cook until golden brown on the first side, then flip all the chicken over.
- Add the onion and enough warm water so about ⅓ of the chicken pieces are in the water.
- Add the vinegar and sweet soy sauce. Cover partially with a lid and turn heat to low and let simmer for 25-35 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and fully cover with the lid for 15 minutes.
- Serve with rice, spoon some of the sauce over the rice, and sliced cucumbers.
