I cooked the Marmite Sauce the other day. However, my toddler who is almost three years old sniffed and asked loudly, “Ewwwwss..mommy, cook what so (s)melly?” He smelt it from the living room!
*roll eyes* His two brothers followed suit with the ‘so smelly’ question. In the end, I decided to save myself some frustrations. I let them eat the chicken pieces I fried as it is. They call it the KFC’s Popcorn Chicken and walloped the big plate I gave them.
I kept the sauce for my own consumption. The funny thing is Marmite smells heavenly to some and not so nice to others. However, Marmite with prawns is a lot tastier because the seafood smell blends in nicely with Marmite. Come to think of it, Marmite is a little like the prawn paste (heh koh used in rojak’s sauce, isn’t it?).

MARMITE SAUCE
2 tbsp Marmite
4 tbso hot water

2. Heat oil in small pan, saute garlic, add black pepper, pour in the mixture.
You can either use one chicken breast cut into small pieces or 300 gm prawns or sausage, use your imagination. Coat chicken breast/prawn with some white pepper and corn flour. Deep fry, take out and add the Marmite sauce.

[…] I was frying this very delicious and crunchy chicken popcorn for my children and almost succumbed to pop some into my mouth. LOL. […]
[…] The other thing I like with my bread and butter is marmite. The marmite gives the bread the savoury taste and hence, can be eaten as a meal instead. And if you do not know what to do with Marmite other than spreading on bread, how about making marmite chicken? […]
