Ginger Braised Chicken, My Mom's Style

材料

1.2kg chicken whole legs (3 pcs)

80gm ginger, julienned (about ¾ cup)

2 Tbsp oil

½ tbsp salt

2 Tbsp oyster sauce

3 Tbsp light soy sauce

1 tsp dark soy sauce

¾ tsp sugar or slightly more if ginger is pretty hot

3 cups water

手順

1. Chop chicken legs into pieces, I chopped them into 8 pieces each.

2. Heat wok until very hot. Put in oil and fry ginger until fragrant.

3. Make sure the wok is well smeared with the ginger oil. Put in chicken and spread it around. Do not toss them immediately. Let it sit in the wok for 30 seconds, then only u start to use ur spatula to flip the chicken pieces. Stir fry chicken in wok until the chicken looks opaque and skin starts to brown slightly.

4. Put in all the seasonings. And continue to stir fry until the seasonings dry up a bit, but be careful not to burn.

5. Put in water and simmer on medium low heat until chicken is tender.
