Instructions
- Wash the chicken and cut it into pieces, then brown it in a large heavy pot with a little oil until golden.
- Add the garlic, ginger and onion, then fry for 2 minutes, stirring.
- Stir in the chilli paste, ground chilli and sugar, and mix to coat the meat.
- Add the soy sauce, water, carrots and potatoes, then bring to the boil.
- Lower the heat, cover and simmer for about 40 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has reduced by half.
- Add the green chilli during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and a drizzle of sesame oil, then serve piping hot with white rice.
Variations and tips
Potato-only version. Replace the carrots with more potatoes for a heartier dish, keeping the sauce the same.
