Recipe Introduction


Serving: Serves: 10
Total Time: 50 minutes


List of Ingredients





6 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 clove garlic
3 shakes ground ginger or 1 thinly sliced ginger root
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
5 to 6 star anise (available at oriental food stores)
2 cups water
10 boneless, skinless chicken-breast halves
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar





Recipe





Place 1/4 cup soy sauce, sherry, garlic, ginger, 1/2 cup sugar, star anise, and 1 cup of the water in an electric frying pan (or large frying pan). Add chicken in one layer and cook over a medium heat for 20 minutes; sauce will be thick. Turn chicken. Add remaining 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon sugar. Adjust for taste: If too salty, add more sugar. If too sweet, add more soy sauce.

Cook for 30 minutes more or until chicken is cooked through. Keep adding water when sauce gets too thick. Periodically turn chicken. Keep tasting sauce and add soy sauce or sugar if necessary. Chicken should be a deep brown
