Soy and Ginger Glazed Chicken

Serves: 4

Preparation time: 5mins

Cooking Time: 20mins

Method:

1. Rub the chicken breasts with the rice wine vinegar and hold until required.
2. Heat a small deep sided saucepan and add the oil, toss in the sliced ginger and shallots. Cook until lightly browned, and then add the palm sugar, cinnamon, star anise and cloves.
3. When the sugar caramelizes, add the chicken breasts and brown on all sides. Add in the Yeo’s Dark Soya Sauce, salt and enough water to half cover the chicken.
4. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, turning often. Add a little water if the sauce reduces too quickly.
5. Remove the chicken when cooked and slice each breast into 4 pieces. Skim away all the fat from the surface of the sauce. Present the sliced chicken with steaming hot rice and a bowl of the strained sauce.
