Ingredients
- 1 chicken, chopped into parts
- old ginger, sliced thinly (as much as you like)
- garlic, minced
- sesame oil
- rock sugar
- light soy sauce
- dark soy sauce
- water, about 1 soup bowl
- alcohol (cognac, DOM and Wincarnis are commonly used), about 3/4 rice bowl
Directions
-
In a skillet, heat sesame oil (in place of regular vegetable oil).
-
Add garlic and ginger and fry till fragrant. I load up on these!
-
Add chicken and stirfry till semi-cooked.
-
Add water, light soy, dark soy and alcohol. If you prefer a thicker gravy, add less water. You can add more alcohol if you like a stronger taste. Cover skillet, let chicken simmer until the flavours are infused and the alcohol has evaporated.
-
After a while, the gravy will thicken and darken.
-
Just before turning off the flame, add in the lump of rock sugar. Simmer for another 1 or 2 mins, then turn off the fire. I added spring onions today because I had some to finish off, but they are optional.
