Recipe: Chicken and potato stew in oyster sauce

Here it is! My favourite!

Very simple recipe that can adjust here and there to suit your own taste.



Chinese Chicken and Potato Stew 2
Here's a very gourmet looking version of it - not enough sauce on it mind you! It's suggested accompanying recipe is also far too complicated to be any good. It's just meant to be an easy and simple dish!

Here's a far more authentic looking version of it! They also seem to have a far more authentic recipe for it.

Here's my simple version the recipe!

Ingredients
  • Half kilo chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (or soy sauce - any sauce really!)
  • Half kilo potatoes, halved or quartered 
  • Onion, finely chopped 
  • Oil
Instructions
  1. Brown the onion in the oil until soft. Add the chicken and slightly brown to seal it.
  2. Add the potatoes and enough water to half cover the ingredients.
  3. Add the oyster sauce and mix well.
  4. Bring to boil and then let it simmer for approximately half an hour, or until the chicken and potatoes are well cooked.
  5. Serve with rice.
You can add in whatever else you want really. Salt, pepper, garlic, ginger, mushrooms... whatevs! A bit of cornflour to thicken the sauce. Also works well with pork. Or lamb and white radish with soy sauce. Sometimes I'll also do it in the morning, bring it to boil and then turn the heat off and let it cook while I'm at work. Then crank up the heat again when I get home. Or I put it in our thermos cooker. It's just so easy. And tasty!
