Braised Chicken with Shiitake Mushrooms

 

My sister shared this recipe with me. It is a classic dish and easy to cook. This dish is delicious.



Dark caramel sauce and Soy sauce

 

Oyster sauce

Ingredients

1.2 kg of chicken (cut in pieces)

10 shiitake mushrooms (soaked, rinsed and remove the stalks)

2 shallots (thinly sliced)

5 slices of ginger

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp dark caramel sauce

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp vegetable oil

Salt to taste

 

Ginger, shallots and mushrooms

 

Procedure

 

Heat wok or non-stick pan. Add oil.

Low heat, saute ginger till lightly brown. Add shallots. Saute both till fragrant.

Add chicken and shiitake mushrooms. Allow to simmer for 30 minutes with lid on, stirring occasionally.

There is no need to add water. The chicken will generate water on its own.

Add soy sauce and dark caramel sauce. Simmer for another 10 minutes.

Lastly add oyster sauce and mix well. Taste it. Sprinkle some salt if necessary.

Serve warm with rice.
