Seared Chicken with Pomelo
20 min 4 SERVINGS
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pack Sadia One by One Chicken Fillet (use half pack)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp black soy bean paste
- 3 garlic cloves (optional)
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 2 small bundle Chinese chives, cut into short strips
- 2 small white onions, thinly sliced
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Steamed rice of your choice (enough for 4pax)
- 3 sprigs cilantro (optional)
- 2 tsp granulated sugar
- Some Sriracha sauce
- Fresh pomelo pulps
METHOD
- Cut chicken fillet into bite-sized pieces and marinate it with soy sauce, rice vinegar, black soy bean paste, whole garlic cloves, and cornflour. Then set the marinated chicken aside.
- Peel pomelo skin and carefully pick out the flesh. Store in a sealed container and transfer to the fridge first. You only need a small amount of pomelo flesh so the rest can be kept for dessert!
- Slice onions and chop up the chives lengthwise.
- Heat the pan on medium heat and add in the oil. Throw in the onion slices along with some salt and pepper to taste, and saute till translucent and fragrant.
- Add in chives and cook until softened. Then transfer the side dish onto a plate.
- To the same pan, pour in the marinated chicken. Stir gently but not too often, to prevent the sides from burning and cook until the marinade is absorbed fully.
- Sprinkle sugar over and mix well. Cook the chicken until colour is medium to dark brown.
- Serve your seared chicken over a plate of steamed rice and chives, and sprinkle some pomelo pulps and chopped cilantro on top if preferred. Drizzle some Sriracha sauce for some spice if desired.
