Guyana Chicken Chow Mein

Step 1

Follow the instructions on the packet to cook the noodles. Chop chicken into 1 inch chunks. Then season with thyme, cassareep or soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, salt, mustard, black pepper. Set aside and let marinade for about 5 minutes. Prepare the vegetables. Then in a skillet or wok large to hold everything, warm oil on medium heat. Add onions and cook until onions are brown and soft. Then increase heat to high. Add seasoned chicken and cook until chicken is fully cooked. Add vegetables including chili pepper and cook for another 5 minutes or so, constantly turning for even cooking. Add the peppers and cook for 3 minutes. Peppers should be crunchy after cooking. Then add the cabbage and the noodles. Toss together then add chopped scallions. Remove from heat, remove the hot chili pepper and serve hot.

Step 2

FYI: Cassareep, is a Guyanese dark sauce made from cassava. It’s traditionally made by the indigenous peoples (Amerindians) of Guyana and makes stews and almost any dish you would add soy sauce too, taste amazing.
