Coca Cola Chicken


It's taken me years to pluck up the courage to try this recipe. I just couldn't get my head round how it would taste. A quick search for assurance and it seems cooking with coke is quite common.
The taste is sweet but not overly sweet and is well balanced by the other ingredients.

Ingredients:
250g chicken fillet ~ cut bite size
250ml coke
1 tbsp lemon juice
1” ginger ~ slice thinly
2 clove garlic ~ chopped
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 red chili ~ deseeded
1 tbsp cornflour
1 tbsp water
1 tbsp cooking oil
Salt to taste

Directions:
  1. Marinate chicken with coke, light & dark soy sauce & lemon juice for atleast 30 minutes.
  2. Pour the remaining marinates juice in a small pot & brings to boil.
  3. Heat oil in a wok & sauté garlic & ginger until fragrant.  Add chicken & stir fry for about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour the boiled marinate sauce into the chicken & mix well.   Simmer gently until the chicken is cooked.
  5. Lastly add the solution of cornflour & water to thicken the gravy.   Serve hot with rice.
