Caramel Coriander Chicken

"One of the best Chicken recipes. It is from The Complete Stir-Fry Cookbook, but a bit modified. The flavor is fabulous. It is some work, but its worth it! It calls for chicken thigh fillets, but my mom & I use boneless skinless chicken breasts."

directions

  • Place the turmeric, 2 crushed garlic cloves, the ginger, soy, rice wine, egg yolks, white pepper in a large bowl and mix together well. Add chicken toss to coat. Cover with plastic and refrigerate overnight (optional).
  • Pour away excess liquid from the chicken, add flour and toss to mix well.
  • Heat wok until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat.
  • Add 1/3rd or 1/4th chicken and stir fry for 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from wok and keep warm. Repeat until all the chicken is golden brown. Add oil as necessary.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining oil, brown sugar, and garlic. Mix together and leave for 1-2 minutes for the sugar to caramelize, and liquefy.
  • Return chicken from wok and add coriander (cilantro) and vinegar. Stir gently for 2 minutes, and put the lid on for 2-3 minutes.
  • Enjoy!
  • Variation: Use twice the sauce and don't drain as much.

  1. I was a bit skeptical of the combination of caramel and cilantro, but this was very tasty. the caramelization created a nice crust on the chicken, and this was pretty easy to make as long as you remember the overnight marinade. I used rice vinegar instead of rice wine vinegar and am not sure if that affected the taste, but either way, I will definitely make this again.
