Chicken Skewers

• Chicken Skewers
  
  2 tbsp light soy sauce
  Caster sugar 1 tsp
  1kg/2.25lb diced chicken breast
  3 coriander roots (or stems), chopped
  20 white peppercorns
  2cm piece ginger
  6 cloves garlic
  Vegetable oil for deep frying
  24 skewers soaked in water for 15 minutes
  
  Ingredients for the Dipping Sauce
  
  3 red chillies, deseeded
  2 cloves garlic
  1 coriander root (or stems) chopped
  1 tsp salt
  2 tsp caster sugar
  Thai rice vinegar (white wine vinegar)

Recipe

Mix the soy sauce with the sugar and a pinch of ground pepper and pour it over the chicken pieces.

Blend the coriander roots, peppercorns,ginger and garlic and some salt in a food processor to a coarse ground paste. Toss the marinated chicken in this mixture.

Thread the chicken onto the skewers and grill until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. Keep warm tightly wrapped in foil in a low oven. Serve with the dipping sauce below.

Recipe for Dipping Sauce

Whizz the chillies, garlic and coriander root with the salt and sugar in a food processor until smooth. Add the vinegar to taste (about 2 tbsp) - the flavour should be sour, salty and sweet. If it's very acidic then dilute it with a little water. This will also make it easier to pour.

A nice touch would be to give everyone their own little bowl of sauce - then double dipping won't be an issue.
