Ingredients
 

  • 1kg Chicken Breasts
  • 1 Jar Ayam Brand Plum Sauce 210ml
  • 2 Tablespoons Hoisin Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Light Soy Sauce
  • 1 Teaspoon Minced Garlic
  • Cornflour for coating chicken
  • Oil for browning coated chicken

Instructions
 

  • Combine plum sauce, hoisin sauce, light soy sauce and minced garlic in a bowl and set aside
  • Cut chicken breasts in half, then into approx 2 to 2.5cm chunks.
  • Coat chicken in cornflour
  • Add oil to wok or pan and brown coated chicken in batches
  • Place chicken into slow cooker
  • Pour sauce over chicken and stir to coat chicken pieces.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 2-3 hours
  • Serve with your choice of boiled rice, fried rice and/or vegetables
  • NOTE: This recipe does NOT produce a lot of juice, so I'd say do not overcook or else there is a risk the sauce will stick to bowl.
  • The plum flavour is tangier than the honey version, but still has a sweetness to it. I used Ayam brand sauce that was 210ml net, but any plum sauce can be substituted.
  • The final dish does not yield much sauce as the chicken is coated but not soaked. If you like your dishes saucier I'd suggest adding more plum sauce and/or some water to yield more juice.
