Chicken Manchurian

Ingredients:

  • 8 boneless chicken thighs – cubed
  • Soya sauce
  • Sriracha sauce
  • Corn starch
  • Chicken stock
  • 1 bunch Spring onions chopped
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro chopped fine
  • 2 Green chillies chopped fine- more if you like it hot
  • 6 cloves Garlic chopped fine
  • Sambal Olek sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Cut chicken into small cubes. Marinade in 2 tablespoons dark soya sauce and 1 tablespoon sriracha, a pinch of salt and pepper for 1 hour.


Follow the air fryer instructions on preheat and cooking chicken. Dredge chicken pieces in corn starch and place in air fryer for required time. I did mine on 380 degrees for 23 minutes, shaking basket at half time.
In the meanwhile make the sauce:

Mix 1/2 cup chicken stock, 2 tablespoons soya sauce, 2 tablespoons sambal olek, 1/2 teaspoon sugar . Once chicken is done frying, in a wok heat 1 tablespoon oil, fry cilantro, green onions, chillies and garlic on high until slightly brown, add sauce, and allow to cook reduce a bit. Add chicken, vinegar and toss until most sauce is absorbed. Garnish with green onions and serve with white rice or fried rice.
