Step by step

Wash the chicken well, put it in a bowl and pour the soy sauce over it.

Stir and leave to marinate for a few hours, at least 3 hours.

After this time we start to prepare the meat.

Pour the oil into a pan, put 2 tablespoons of sugar in it and let the pan on the heat heat well.

Stir the sugar periodically until it caramelizes.

Put the meat with the soy sauce in the pan.

Be careful that it will be very hot, you must do it quickly so as not to burn yourself with oil. It is better to reduce the heat under the pan 2 minutes before putting the meat.

Mix the meat and let it cook for about 5 minutes.
