NO MARINADE | 20 MINS
When I only have 20 minutes to cook, I whip up this Sri Lankan Soy Sauce Chicken—a perfect fusion of bold flavors! It comes together in just 20 minutes and pairs beautifully with plain rice. The best part? No marinating required!
The chicken is simmered in a rich blend of soy sauce, fish sauce, and garlic, creating a deeply flavorful base. It’s then seasoned with a spice mix of salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin, adding a warm, spicy kick that perfectly complements the umami richness of the sauces. Serve it over rice or with roti, and you’ve got a deliciously satisfying meal that’s sure to impress.
With a bowl of rice, this dish packs 30g of protein and just 335 calories!
