ABC Sauce Chicken (Sweet Dark Soya Sauce Chicken)

ABC Sauce Chicken (Sweet Dark Soya Sauce Chicken)

ABC Sauce Chicken is made with ABC Sauce or Kecap Manis (Indonesian dark-thick-sweet soy sauce), It is a thick soy sauce sweetened with palm sugar. The sauce is very thick (like molasses) and dark in color, unlike regular dark soya sauce.

This, along with a few other regular marinade sauces as well as dried chilies, curry leaves, and black pepper, goes into making this super simple and lip-smacking Asian Chicken Stir-fry – ABC Sauce Chicken. It is very common in eateries in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia.

My recipe is for a less sweet version, which suits my family’s taste better. In some places, I have had the version which is far too sweet for my liking.  This is my ‘Goldilocks’ version or ‘Just right for me!

The marinade and the sauce, make it very yummy and often I find my family scraping off all the gravy left on their plates. That sign of satisfaction, that pleases any mother and home cook 🙂

The addition of curry leaves, is certainly what gives it a certain special fragrance that makes it all the more appealing! Serve with steamed white rice and vegetables.
