Surinamese bami often uses spaghetti or sturdy noodles and gets its deep flavour from soy, ginger, celery and well-seasoned chicken rather than a heavy sauce.

Serves: 4 people

Preparation time: 15 min

Ingredients

Spaghetti or thick noodles – 400 g
Chicken thighs – 400 g
Onion – 1
Garlic – 3 cloves
Fresh ginger – 3 cm
Tomato paste – 1 tbsp
Salted soy sauce – 5 tbsp
Sweet soy sauce – 2 tbsp
Celery – 5 sprigs
Chinese five-spice – 1/2 tsp
Sunflower oil – 3 tbsp
Black pepper – to taste

Method

Cook the noodles until just tender, rinse briefly and set them aside with a little oil so they do not stick. Fry the chicken until browned, then add onion, garlic and ginger and let them soften. Stir in the tomato paste, soy sauces and five-spice and cook until the pan smells savoury and sweet. Add the noodles and toss patiently so the seasoning spreads evenly through the whole pan. Finish with celery and black pepper and serve hot, ideally with sour cucumber or chili on the side.
