Carrots
Chicken Stew
It was raining cats & dogs. Something warm will be nice. So I decided to make chicken stew.
It is so easy to prepare and tasty too.
Ingredients
1 yellow onion
3 boneless & skinless chicken thighs
3 potatoes
3 carrots
A handful of snow peas (optional)
Sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp soy sauce
1 to 2 drops of dark soy sauce (for colouring)
150ml of chicken stock
1 bay leaf
Dash of pepper
Cornflour (for thickening)
Preparation
Cut the chicken thigh into bite size and marinade them with light soy sauce, sugar & cornflour. Leave it for 15 minutes.
Slice the onions. Quarter the potatoes and chop the carrots into any size you prefer.
Mix the sauce in a bowl and set aside.
Cooking method
Heat the oil and sauté the onion until fragrant. Add in the chicken, potatoes & carrots and stir for 30 seconds.
Pour in the sauce & stir well.
Simmer it at medium heat until all cooked.
In order not overcook our snow peas, toss them in when the stew looks almost ready. You can choose to omit it.
And there you have it. A bowl of chicken stew to warm the tummy!
Cheers!
