How to Cook Braised Chicken with Potatoes

Braised Chicken with Potatoes is a comforting, homestyle dish loved for its tender chicken, savory potatoes, and rich sauce. Here’s a simple guide to making it:

Ingredients: 500g chicken (cut into pieces), 2 potatoes (peeled and cubed), 3 garlic cloves (sliced), 1 ginger slice, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp cooking wine, 1 tsp sugar, vegetable oil, and water or broth.

Steps:

1. Prep the ingredients: Marinate chicken with 1 tbsp soy sauce, cooking wine, and ginger for 15 minutes.

2. Sear the chicken: Heat oil in a wok, stir-fry chicken over medium-high heat until golden. Set aside.

3. Sauté aromatics: In the same wok, stir-fry garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add potatoes, cook for 3-4 minutes.

4. Simmer together: Return chicken to the wok. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until chicken is tender and potatoes are soft.

5. Thicken the sauce (optional): Mix 1 tsp cornstarch with water, stir in, and cook for 1 minute until the sauce thickens. Garnish with green onions and serve hot with rice.

This dish balances savory and slightly sweet flavors, making it a perfect weeknight meal. Enjoy!
