Method

  1. 1

    Marinate the chicken in the soy sauce, garlic, ginger and allspice for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil and sugar in a pan over medium-high heat until the sugar turns dark amber, then add the chicken and brown well on all sides.

  3. 3

    Add the onion, pepper and thyme, and cook for 2–3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pour in the stock, cover and simmer for 20–25 minutes until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened.

  5. 5

    Season to taste, then scatter with spring onion to serve.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 300 g chicken thigh, 7 spring onions and ½ pepper. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
