Remove excess fat from chicken and cut into 2 inch pieces with a cleaver or a large knife.
10 peeled ginger slices, 8 cloves of garlic,
1 red chilli
2 scallion cut into 5~6cm
8T Chinese rice wine
4T Kikkoman dark Soy Sauce
2T Crystal sugar
1cup basil

Heat oil over low heat and add two kinds of sesame oil. Stir-fry ginger to golden brown〈dry out & curl〉.
add garlic, chilli & scallion stir-fry until fragrant, then add the chicken pieces and stir-fry until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes. Add the rice wine mixture. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. DO NOT add water!
Step 3: Serving the Chicken
open the lid, increase heat & reduce sauce to thicken.
heat an earthenware pot
pour chicken to the hot earthenware pot, add a few seasame oil, add basil with lid on for 10 sec and serve.
while boiling, the bone and skin will release the Collagen,thus will thicken the nsauce.
Note:
If the dish is salty to you, you can change the soy sauce into light soy sauce.
The golden ratio is: 8T Rice Wine, 4T Soy Sauce and 2T Sugar. or
4T Rice Wine+4T Chicken Stock~
雞肉碰到鹽會釋出水;雞皮會放出雞油和麻油溶在一起。
蒜頭不拍不切片才不會煮糊掉
檢查:冷藏會凝固表示sauce裏面有膠原蛋白,Good!
