A traditional street food from Bangkok, pandan chicken can be eaten as a snack or part of a meal with rice as an accompaniment. Try this recipe from Busaba Eathai for Taste of London

Ingredients

  • 1kg chicken thighs, boneless
  • 4 pandan leaves

For the marinade

  • 65g fresh garlic, finely chopped
  • 40ml dark soy sauce
  • 40ml light soy sauce
  • 40ml oyster sauce
  • 40g finely chopped coriander
  • Pinch salt and white pepper
  • 10g sugar
  • 80ml coconut milk
  • 15g whole white peppercorns

For the sauce

  • 100ml dark soy sauce
  • 150ml water
  • 220g white sugar
  • 50ml sesame oil
  • 50g sesame seeds
  • 50ml white vinegar

Method: How to make pandan chicken

1. Cut the chicken thigh meat into pieces approximately 5cm square.

2. Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a bowl then add the chicken so it is fully coated with the marinade and surrounded by mixture.

3. Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the meat to absorb the marinade.

4. Remove the chicken strips from the marinade and spread across a roasting pan and pour marinade over the top. Roast in over at 175°C for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and place into a bowl with all the cooked marinade and allow to cool.

5. Remove pieces of chicken from the marinade and wrap in a pandan leaf and tie the ends so that it is held in place.

6. Deep fry in very hot oil for 5 minutes, being careful not to burn the meat, drain and serve immediately with sauce on the side.

7. For the sauce, combine all the sauce ingredients (excluding the sesame seeds) together in a heavy pan and bring to the boil, taking care that the sauce does not burn or catch on the bottom of the pan. Boil for 10 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
