Tips

  • Use sesame oil for extra flavor when spraying the chicken.
  • Use dark soy sauce as it's less salty than light soy sauce.
  • If using a stock cube, opt for a reduced salt option and use only a bit for the given liquid amount.
  • If the sauce is too runny after cooking, add some cornflour to thicken it.
