Instructions
  1. Tenderise your meat in a nonmetallic bowl (check tips for more info).
  2. Mix all the sauce ingredients with a whisk in a large cup or bowl. Dilute the chicken bullion with the water and add it to the sauce mix. You can add chicken stock or vegetable stock as well. Ensure that the stock is cold so the corn starch does not clump.
  3. Slice the garlic and onion into small cubes and set aside. In a heavy-bottomed pan, place 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil and fry the onion until softened. You can add a pinch of salt to speed up this process.
  4. Next, add the chicken and cook for three minutes, stirring it constantly. Add half a teaspoon of salt and half a cup of frozen peas.
  5. Add the garlic, and immediately pour the prepared curry sauce into the pan while giving it a good store. Ensure to stir the sauce constantly, or it will get clumpy.
  6. Once the sauce thickens and bubbles, stir it for another two minutes until the chicken is coated perfectly. Serve immediately with rice or noodles.
  7. Chicken breast can feel a bit spongy or tough when cooked, and the best way to make your chicken soft is by tenderising it with some baking soda. Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda over the chicken, and let it sit for at least 15 minutes. Then wash it off with cold water, as baking soda can leave an unpleasant taste. Next, pat it dry using a paper towel.
  8. You can always add extra vegetables like carrots, green beans, eggplant, mushrooms, bell peppers and cauliflower to your curry. Make sure to blanch, steam or fry them before adding them to the curry. This step will allow the vegetables to cook simultaneously with the chicken; excessive cooking can harden your chicken.
  9. Add cold water to the sauce mixture as hot water can make the corn flour clump. The sauce can thicken very quickly when cooked; if you like your sauce thinner, add a lesser quantity of cornstarch.
  10. Don’t confuse baking soda with baking powder. Baking powder will not tenderise your meat but instead, make it a slimy mess.
