The first step to making delicious and authentic braised chicken is to prepare the necessary ingredients: first go to the supermarket and buy a fresh chicken, which is also sold in general vegetable markets. It is recommended that you buy chickens that have been slaughtered right after purchase. These are fresher and you can feel more assured about the hygiene aspect by watching them being killed yourself. Then you need to prepare some ingredients, such as onions, ginger, garlic, etc. If you have them at home, you can ignore them.

The second step is to wash the purchased chicken with clean water and set aside. Then wash the prepared ginger with clean water and cut it into slices. Next, wash the wok and wipe off the moisture. Then turn on the fire and pour a small amount of oil into the wok to stir-fry the ginger slices.

In the third step , after the ginger slices in the pan are fried, you can put the previously prepared chicken into the pan and stir-fry over high heat until the oil comes out.

The fourth step is to wait until the chicken in the pan is fried with oil, then add an appropriate amount of light soy sauce and a small spoonful of shacha sauce. If you don’t have shacha sauce, you can use other sauces instead.

Step 5 : Add seasoning and sugar and stir-fry the chicken.

Step 6 : When the chicken is fried until fragrant, add appropriate amount of water and simmer.

Step 7: At this time, you can cover the pot and bring to a boil over high heat then simmer over low heat.

Step 8: Simmer until the sauce is thickened.
