    Super delicious. I didn’t precook the chicken. Just through everything in together. Tasty and so tender, the chicken fell apart. I doubled the sauce ingredients, as I love sauce.

    Delicious! I didn’t precook the chicken, and I used 2Tbs kecap manis instead of dark soy because I had some that needing using up. The chicken was so easy to shred! Served it with rice and steamed veg.
