Just wondering how long this would take with beef? Has anyone tried it and if so how does it taste? Cheers

This recipe got the tick of approval from all but 1 in our family (oh well you can’t win them all lol) the rest of us thoroughly enjoyed this very tasty dish 😍 I used sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) and rice wine vinegar and also sauteed a diced brown onion in 1TBS of brown sugar (as suggested in a previous review) before slow cooking. I also added a good TBS of sweet chilli sauce just before serving on steamed white rice. Great little recipe Rebecca Ruse, will definitely make this again 😀

Wow, I don’t know how something with so little ingredients can taste so great. The chicken was pulling apart by the time we served it. I cooked 1.5 kg of thigh fillets and this fed 4 adults and 5 kids. We served it with brown rice and stir fried greens. All the kids ate it too, which doesn’t happen that often. We definitely will be having again.

Love this recipe have cooked this on the stove top for years but it’s even more delicious if you first brown the onions lightly and add a tablespoon of packed brown sugar to caramelise the onion a little, before adding to the slow cooker. (Or use the sear function to brown onions) if your s/c has it. I find trimmed drum sticks have a little less fat and the result is more tender meat. It will likely fall off the bone but it tastes so good you won’t mind it not looking as aesthetically pleasing!
