Another gingery dish.

I had a lovely lunch at Phong Mun so I tried to duplicate what I had at home for the kids' dinner tonight.

Lightly brown garlic, shallots and ginger in a pan (that looks like a lot of ginger but it cooks down to almost nothing).


Add chicken and brown slightly.


Add some xiauxing cooking wine and reduce pan juices.

Pour the chicken into a claypot. Add oyster sauce, dark soy and a dash of sugar.


Add half a small cup of water. Lower heat and gently simmer till liquid is thick, dark and syrupy.


The garlic will become sweet and soft and the ginger will lose its spiciness. I reduced the gravy more after this picture was taken.


This is lovely over rice. Mark liked it but Hazel didn't.
