Chicken Marmite 妈蜜鸡

I purposely bought a bottle of Marmite to cook this dish...Chicken Marmite is a very common dish when you take meal at Chinese restaurant. In order to use up this bottle, i am planning to cook this marmite with pork, prawn and crab which are very common serve in Chinese restaurant too.

Four basic sauces for this recipe..Honey, prawn paste, Marmite (yeast extract) and maltose

If you have never eaten chicken marmite before, I don't think you can imagine the taste after combined all these sauces ^_^
