Chicken in Soy Sauce

List of Ingredients




Chicken in Soy Sauce

1.5kg (about 3 pound) of chicken pieces (I like to
use chicken thighs/drumsticks/wings)

Marinade:
1 teaspoon fresh ginger juice

Seasoning:
2 star aniseed
1 piece cinnamon stick
8 cloves
3 tablespoon Chinese rice wine (can be substituted by sherry)
600g light soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
150g sugar
4 cups water

Marinade the chicken with the ginger juice and rice wine for 2-3
hours. Bring water to boil together with the spices (i.e star
aniseeds, cinnamon stick and cloves). Add in the sugar, light and
dark soy sauces. When it starts to boil again, add in the chicken
pieces. After bringing to boil, lower the flame to the min. and
simmer the chicken pieces until it is cooked (about 30-40 min) - Cover
the pot to prevent the liquid from evaporating during cooking. When
done, dish up, sprinkle with dash of sesame oil and serve. This
should serve about 6 person

Optional: Add / tofu (cut into 2-inch cubes) / shelled but whole hard
boiled eggs towards the last 15-10 minutes of cooking for a more
substantial dish

If freezing, remove the spices and do not freeze with tofu.
