The consistency of the Oriental Chicken sauce
Asked on 9 Apr 2018 by CantCookWithoutYou
Hi I cooked the Oriental Chicken yesterday. It tasted great if a bit salty but the sauce was very thin when I expected it to thicken up judging by the picture in the book. I used boneless chicken thighs from my wonderful butcher and dropped about ten minutes from the time as they seemed cooked. I tried reducing the sauce but didn't change. Did I do anything wrong ? I bought Shaosing especially and thought 150ml was a lot but checked the details in my book.
Regards

Hello Denise,
No you haven’t done anything wrong. It is a thin sauce. Where it looks like a thicker sauce in the photo it is the grated ginger that’s taken on the colour of the soy sauce.
You can use reduced salt soy sauce if you prefer.
Kind regards
