Stuff to know
This will be enough for 16-18 portions.
The quantity of spices, sweet soy sauce and sweet chili sauce can be adjusted to suit one’s taste.
It is possible to use rice that has been cooked a day ahead.
The sweet soy sauce is already rather salty, do not use too much salt in the dish.
It is important to fry off the spices to make them much more aromatic and powerful.
Pork can replace the chicken.
Serve with a hot sauce (Tabasco or Sambal) if desired.
