Braised chicken, a beloved home dish, is cherished for its tender meat and savory sauce. Here’s a basic recipe with versatile twists.
Start by prepping ingredients: 500g chicken thighs (cut into chunks), 2 potatoes, 1 bell pepper, and 1 onion. Sauté ginger, garlic, and dried chilies in hot oil until fragrant. Add chicken, stir-fry until golden, then pour in 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cooking wine, and a pinch of sugar. Pour in enough water to cover the chicken, bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.
Next, add potatoes and onion, cook for 10 more minutes. Finally, toss in bell pepper, thicken the sauce with cornstarch, and garnish with scallions. For extra richness, replace water with coconut milk; for spice, add Sichuan peppercorns. Serve hot with steamed rice.
This dish is forgiving—adjust ingredients to your taste. Its comforting flavors make it a perfect weeknight meal, bringing warmth to any dining table. Enjoy!
