Chicken with Lee Kum Kee Plum Sauce / 苏梅酱汁鸡


This light brown sauce is made from preserved Chinese plums, quality ginger, and chilies. This is an excellent dipping sauce for any roasted meat dishes and for stir frying.

Sauce
  • 200 g Chicken breast
  • 1/3 tsp Salt
  • 1/5 tsp Chicken bouillon
  • 60 g Cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/2 Egg
  • Some water
  • 1 tsp Minced garlic
  • 1 tsp Sesame seeds©angiesrecipes
  1. Cut the chicken breast into 2cm dices, marinate with the salt and chicken bouillon and set aside for 15 minutes. Combine the cornstarch and baking soda, add in egg and some water to make a thick batter.
  2. Heat up a wok with enough oil until hot. Dip the diced chicken into the batter. Shake off the extra batter and deep-dry the chicken for 2 minutes. Scoop out and drain. Return the chicken to the wok and deep-fry until very crispy.
  3. Fill another skillet with a little of oil, add in garlic and stir until fragrant. Combine all the sauce ingredients and add into the skillet. Return the fried chicken to the skillet and stir until the chicken are completely coated with the sauce. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle some sesame seeds over.

  37. Ive actually been eying that bottle of plum sauce at the store for a bit always afraid it would end up disappointing. Plus I had no idea what to do with it. Great use of pre-made sauce (and letting me know that it's worth the buy)

  58. I've seen plum sauce in Chinese groceries but I've never tried it. I wasn't quite aware of how to use it. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Angie. I will give it a try.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Hey Angie, you make the best stuff-you really do. This chicken looks perfectly fried. Plus, I always see plum sauce, but I never knew what to do with it. Now I do. Do you think it would do well on tofu. You know, tossed in corn starch, fried, and then rolled in plum sauce? Maybe...?

    ReplyDelete
  60. Looks like you created the perfect chicken dish if you ask me.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Angie...I had once actually attempted a homemade Asian plum sauce...which was incredibly tasty. However, I've got to admit this concoction in a jar is great for taste in a jiffy. I've got to make your rcipe soon...all my favourites are in there ;o)

    Ciao for now,
    Claudia
