Sweet-soy chicken & beef semur
Sweet soy in a braising liquid — the same pattern for chicken and beef.
Method
- Sauté shallot + garlic until fragrant, add the protein, stir until it changes colour.
- Add sweet soy + a little water — braise low: chicken 20–25 min, beef 35–45 min.
- The liquid reduces to a glossy glaze — not a clear broth.
Quality & safety
Chicken core ≥74 °C; beef ≥71 °C and fork-tender. Sweet soy carries high sugar — keep the flame low or it burns bitter.
Production scaling
Protein linear ×N; sweet soy f=0.9 (sweetness compounds); braising water f=0.9. Beef semur in a large tank: time +10–15% for slower heat penetration.
