Instructions:
Thinly slice the chicken breast into pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the tamarind paste, coconut sugar, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic, coriander powder, and cumin powder. Mix well.
Add the chicken to the marinade and make sure that every piece is coated evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is best).
After marinating the chicken, heat up a wok or frying pan over high heat. Add the oil to the pan, followed by the chicken. Cook the chicken until it's caramelized and browned on both sides. This should take around 5-7 minutes.
