Ingredients:
1 whole chicken legs (cut into bite sized pieces)
1 chicken drumstick (cut into bite sized pieces)
4 dried chilies (deseed, soaked in hot water, drain, pat dry with kitchen paper)
1 potato (peeled and cut into chunks)
1 onion (peeled and slice slightly larger)
3 cloves garlic (peeled and chopped)
1 cup water
1/2 tbsp. dark soy sauce (amount depending on the colour you want to achieve)
2 tbsp. cooking oil
Marinade: (mix together)
2 tbsp. oyster sauce
1/2 tbsp. dark soy sauce
Dashes of sesame oil
Dashes of salt
Dashes of grounded white pepper
1 tbsp. Shaoxing Wine
1/2 tbsp. cornflour
Methods:
- Marinate chicken pieces with marinade for at least three hours in the fridge.
- In a heated wok add 1 tbsp. of cooking oil, fry the dried chillies, dish out and set aside.
- Add another tablespoon of cooking oil into the same wok, saute garlic until fragrant. Add the marinated chicken together with the marinade and potatoes and stir-fry until well mixed.
- Drizzle in another 1/2 tbsp. (or more) dark soy sauce and 1 cup water. Stir to mix and when the sauce starts to simmer, add in onion and dried chillies. Give it a mix and cover with lid, reduce the heat to low and let it braised until chicken is cooked through.
- Remove from heat onto a serving dish.
I adapted this recipe from Mary Adele Ng, who posted her dish in 'Heavenly Cuisines' with some amendments to suit my cooking preference.
