Ingredients:
  • 36.40 gm peanut oil
  • 1.4kg Chicken Thigh Fillets, excess fat trimmed, halved
  • 42.00 gm light soy sauce
  • 2 red onions
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 40.00 ml shredded fresh ginger
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) oyster sauce
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) Salt Reduced Chicken Style Liquid Stock
  • 20.00 gm caster sugar
  • 2 small yellow capsicums, deseeded, coarsely chopped
  • 2 small red capsicums, deseeded, coarsely chopped
  • 21.00 gm dark soy sauce
  • 10.00 gm cornflour
  • 125.00 ml fresh basil leaves
  • Steamed jasmine rice, to serve
  • 45g (1/4 cup) roasted unsalted cashews
Instructions:
  • In a hot large frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Sear half of the chicken for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to the slow cooker bowl. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.
  • Prepare the onion by cutting it into wedges and finely chop the garlic while the chicken is cooking.
  • In the same pan, sauté the onion in the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil until softened over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Transfer everything to the slow cooker.
  • Combine the oyster sauce, stock, soy sauces, and caster sugar in the pot. Cook covered on high for 1 hour and 40 minutes. Then, add the capsicums and cook for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Mix the cornflour and 60ml (1/4 cup) water together. Pour this mixture into the slow cooker and stir gently. Let it cook without a lid for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to perfection.
  • Divide the mixture in half (refer to tip). Mix basil into one half and serve with steamed rice, garnished with cashew nuts.
