1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a saucepan and saute the ginger, chili, and shallots over a medium heat until beginning to brown. Add sugar and 5 tbsp water and simmer until the sugar has dissolved. Turn up the heat and cook for 1-2 mins, until caramelized.

4
Remove the chicken from the oven, allow to rest for 2 mins, then cut into strips. Serve with jasmine rice and the tomato jam, garnished with mint.
