Stuff to know
This will be enough for 3-5 portions.
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.
Serve with a hot sauce (Tabasco or Sambal) if desired.
Pork can replace the chicken.
The quantity of spices, sweet soy sauce and sweet chili sauce can be adjusted to suit one’s taste.
