Ingredients
800g
chicken thigh fillets
2
cm piece fresh root ginger, peeled and grated
5
garlic cloves, crushed
100ml
runny honey
75ml
dark soy sauce
50ml
oyster sauce
1Tbsp.
Sriracha hot sauce
2Tbsp.
cornflour
1Tbsp.
sesame seeds, toasted (optional)
4
spring onions, sliced (optional)
Directions
Step 1Put the chicken, ginger, garlic, honey, soy, oyster sauce and Sriracha into the bowl of the slow cooker and mix. Cover and cook on low for 6hr, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Step 2Remove chicken with a slotted spoon to a chopping board. Pour the cooking liquid into a medium pan. In a small bowl, mix the cornflour with 2tbsp of the cooking liquid to form a thick paste. Add the cornflour paste to the pan and simmer over medium-high heat for 2min until thickened, whisking continuously.
Step 3Chop the chicken into bite-size pieces, stir into the thickened sauce and cook just until heated through. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds and spring onions, if using, and serve with rice and broccoli if you like.
GH TIPS:
Serve with fluffy white rice, or a special egg fried rice for a Chinese-inspired fakeaway feast.
You could replace the chicken with thinly sliced steak or beef if you weren't keen on chicken.
Add ay vegetables you like towards the last 10-15mins of cooking such as broccoli, green beans or peas.
