chili paste

🥗Healthier: sriracha

💰Cheaper: hot sauce

Sriracha offers a similar heat with a different flavor profile.

Start by heating oil in a skillet.

Prepare a fried egg first using the heated oil.

Pound together turmeric, garlic, and Thai chili pepper to create a paste.

Add the turmeric paste to the skillet and sauté to release aroma.

Add 300 grams of chicken breast cut into pieces to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until yellow.
