Braised Soy Sauce Chicken / 豉油鸡 / 卤鸡

Thanks to Nyuk Shan for sharing this simple and delicious recipe. I cooked this last night and my husband love it!
The original recipe from Nyuk Shan is very simple, I am sure it taste as good as it is!
Because I am using frozen chicken, so I was a bit concern the chicken might have smell (血腥味). Hence, I put in some additional ingredients to avoid the smell and to enhance the dish (提味).

Ingredients:
500gm Chicken drumstick, cut into pieces
2 tbsp Sugar
Dark soy sauce
Light soy sauce
Pepper
Water

Optional ingredients:
3 Ginger slices
2 Cloves Garlic
2 Shallot
1 Star Anise
10 White pepper corn, crushed

Method:
1. Heat up a clean work, put in sugar and let is caramelized till golden colour over slow fire.
2. Add in the dark soy, light soy, pepper and water then bring it to boil.
3. Add in the optional ingredients.
4. Add in chicken. Make sure the liquid is enough to cover the chicken.
5. Cook over low fire till the meat is tender and sauce thicken.
6. Ready to serve. Best to eat with steamed rice or porridge.

Tips:
1. Make sure don't burnt the sugar, or else the dish will taste bitter.
2. If you don't like the dish to be too sweet, reduce the sugar to 1 tbsp.
3. You can use PORK to cook this dish.
4. You can keep the gravy and add in hard boiled egg-卤蛋 (then you get another effortless dish!! Lazy cooking! Horray!!!)
