Sticky Sweet & Sour Tamarind Chicken

Cooking Steps

Cook the garlic rice
1

• Finely chop garlic. 
• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a 
dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook half 
the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Add the water and a generous pinch of salt to 
pan and bring to the boil. 
• Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and 
reduce heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then 
remove from heat and keep covered until rice is 
tender and water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes. 

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so 
don’t peek!

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, thinly slice fresh chilli (if using). 
Roughly chop capsicum and Asian greens. 
• Cut chicken thigh into bite-sized chunks. 
• In a medium bowl, combine chicken, sweet soy
seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil.

Cook the veggies
3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil
over medium-high heat. 
• Cook capsicum, until tender, 4-5 minutes.
• Add Asian greens and remaining garlic, and 
cook until tender and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. 
Season with salt and pepper. 
• Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. 

Cook the chicken
4

• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with 
a drizzle of olive oil. 
• When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing, until 
browned, 5-6 minutes. 
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine soy sauce
mix, tamarind paste, sweet chilli sauce and the 
brown sugar. 

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it’s no longer 
pink inside.

Add the tamarind sauce
5

• Reduce the heat to medium-low, then add 
tamarind sauce mixture and cook until slightly 
reduced, 1-2 minutes. 

Finish & serve
6

• Divice sticky sweet and sour tamarind chicken 
and veggies between bowls. 
• Garnish with crispy shallots and fresh 
chilli to serve. Enjoy!
