Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
  • 14 ounces chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons tamarind paste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 fresh green chile pepper, or more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
Instructions
1
Combine soy sauce and flour in a large bowl until they form a smooth, even mixture.
2
Add chicken to the bowl and mix it thoroughly with the sauce until the chicken is evenly coated.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together water, fish sauce, brown sugar, and tamarind paste until well combined.
4
Heat a substantial amount of oil in a wok over an elevated heat setting.
5
Add minced garlic, sliced chile pepper, and grated ginger to the wok and sauté for 1 to 3 minutes.
6
Take the chicken out of its marinade and add it to the wok; stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes.
7
Pour half of the tamarind sauce mixture into the wok and continue stir-frying until the liquid has evaporated.

Add the remaining sauce to the wok and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has reached your desired consistency.
