Thai Tamarind Chicken

  4.0 – 1 reviews  • Thai

Wish you could cook fondue like a Swiss pro? Try this simple, reliable approach to prepare the best dinner for cheese lovers! It’s amazing to see how acidic wine and rich, buttery cheeses pair together. It’s just enjoyable to eat stuff off the end of an extremely long fork, in addition to the fantastic flavor and texture! Customizing the tray of “dippables” to your preferences, such as adding apple slices, grapes, sausage, baby potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, or cauliflower florets, is half the enjoyment of this.

Perfect with gluten free ingredients as well! I used ORGAN brand all purpose flour and gf soy sauce. When I mixed the soy sauce and water, it created such a gluey thick paste that I couldn’t actually rub it on the chicken. I altered that step, and first sprinkled chicken with flour, and then added the soy suace and mixed it together. It mixed well. I added an extra teaspoon of ginger, two extra tablespoons of sugar and one extra tablespoon of tamarind paste. I also used ginger paste instead of the actual cloves. It was so much tastier! My personal alteration was adding steamed brocoli and carrot in at the very end without cooking it further, and garnishing it with red pepper flakes, Coriander and spring onion. It was absolutely delicious!!
