Impromptu dishes

Chicken with Potatoes, Carrots & Bamboo Shoots
This was a rather impromptu dish suggested by my MIL for dinner tonight.

Ingredients:
500g Chicken Fillets ~ cut into bite sized pieces & marinated
2 large Potatoes ~ diced into similar size as the chicken
1 small Carrot ~ diced into similar size as the chicken
1/2 can Bamboo Shoots ~ diced into similar size as the chicken



Marinade:
1 Tbsp Xiao Shing Wine
1 Tsp Pepper
1 Tsp Salt

1 Tbsp Corn Flour ~ to be added into marinated chicken just before frying

Sauce:
2 Tbsp Oyster Sauce / Vegetarian Oyster Sauce

1 Tsp Dark Soya Sauce

1 1/2 Cup Water

1 Tsp Corn Flour mixed with 2 Tbsp water

Method:
1. Heat 3 Tbsp oil into wok / frying pan. Stir fry the potatoes for 3 minutes. Dish out & put aside.

2. Stir fry the chicken pieces for a bit and also put aside. Remove access oil, throw in the potatoes again, with carrots & bamboo shoots. Add 1 Cup of water & cover your wok / frying pan. Let it boil a bit.

3. Add in the half cooked chicken pieces and in the sauce. Simmer for another 5 minutes for the potatoes to soften. Taste the sauce to check if it's salty enough for your liking.


Waxed Chinese Sausages 2 types
Simple dish to prepare when running out of ideas. Good to keep some waxed chinese sausages in your stock. It's also very appetising when eaten with white rice.

Just blanch them into hot water for 1 or 2 minutes. Remove the skin. Slice them up and sprinkle chopped garlic and a little light soya sauce. Steam for 20 minutes. Ready to be served.
