Microwave Chicken Char

Siew Recipe

Ingredients

*Servings for 2

200g (7.05oz) chicken meat
Less than 1 teaspoon potato starch
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin
1.5 tablespoons sake
1 tablespoon sugar

Directions

Pierce chicken meat with a fork on both sides.


Mix potato starch, soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar in a heatproof container.


Cover the heatproof container with plastic wrap and heat in a microwave oven (500W) for 3-4 minutes.


Once cooked, remove the container and turn the meat over. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 2 to 3 minutes (slightly shorter than the first time).


After cooking is complete, leave the meat to cook naturally for 5 to 10 minutes to let it preheat. When the flavors are well blended and the mixture has cooled down, cut it into pieces and serve it in a bowl!

All you have to do is leave it in the microwave, so you can make it in one hand while cooking other dishes. Try it when you want to make something hearty in no time! You'll be hooked on how easy and delicious it is!
