About Me

I love to cook and more importantly, I like to improve the way I cook certain dishes. As such, this blog is borne out of a desire for a simple and organized way to manage the different variations of the dish that I tried. I will be posting recipes, pictures and comments on what works for me and what don’t. Hopefully, you will enjoy your time here, and do remember to give your feedback! Cooking is a constant evolution, a process and definitely not an end result!

Stir-fry Sesame Oil Chicken with Ginger and Garlic
This dish goes very well with rice. I have use drumsticks and chicken wings instead, because the meat is more tender and after simmering for 15 to 20 minutes, the gravy of the sauce induced into the chicken making it more tender and savoury. I will always have a second round of rice if this dish is served on the dining table.

Ingredients
  1. 1/3 of a Chicken (Cut into smaller pieces)
  2. 4 slices of Ginger (Peeled)
  3. 4 cloves of Garlic (Peeled and slightly smashed)
  4. 3 tablespoon of Sesame Oil
  5. 1 1/2 tablespoon of Dark Soya Sauce
  6. 3 tablespoon of Hua Diao Jiu (Rice Wine)
  7. 5 tablespoon of hot water
  8. 1/4 teaspoon of sugar
Steps
  1. Add Sesame Oil in hot pan
  2. Add Ginger and Garlic and fry until fragrant
  3. Add Chicken and fry until chicken turn slightly brown
  4. Add Dark Soya Sauce and fry to mix well
  5. Add Hua Diao Jiu and fry to mix well
  6. Add hot water slowly and fry to mix well (taste if sauce is right, if too salty, add more water)
  7. Turn to low heat and simmer for approx 15 minutes until chicken is cooked (flip the chicken every few minutes to ensure that both side of the chicken is cooked)
  8. Add sugar and mix well
Serve while Hot!

Good to go with Rice, a bowl of Chinese Soup and 2 more Chinese Dishes.
