The addition of curry powder to the regular Chinese-style stir-fried chicken with sweet dark soy sauce (caramel sauce), gives it a hint of spiciness on top of the sweet-salty sauce from the dark/light soy sauce.
It is great for a weekday meal as it’s quick and simple to prepare and cook. This is a quite dry stirfry with just a little sauce that coats the onions. Adding a few cili padi (bird’s eye chillies) would make it a little spicier.
