Braised Chicken is a delicious Chinese home-cooked dish that is loved for its delicious taste and rich aroma. Here are the detailed steps to make braised chicken:
Chicken: 500 grams (diced).
Dried shiitake mushrooms: 10 grams (soak in water in advance).
Green and red peppers: 1 each (diced).
Green onion and ginger: Appropriate amount (cut into sections).
Star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves: appropriate amount each.
Light soy sauce and dark soy sauce: appropriate amount of each.
White sugar: to taste.
Salt and cooking wine: appropriate amount each.
Water: to taste.
Soak the chicken in water, soak the blood water inside, then add a spoonful of salt, a spoonful of cooking wine, and a few slices of ginger to marinate for 10 minutes.
Soak dried shiitake mushrooms in water in advance, and this step can be omitted if there are fresh shiitake mushrooms. Cut the soaked shiitake mushrooms into cubes, and cut the green and red peppers into cubes for later use.
Heat the pan with cold oil, add the white sugar and fry the sugar, and when the sugar melts and begins to bubble and smoke, pour the chicken into it.
Stir-fry quickly to evenly color, then add green onion and ginger, star anise, cinnamon and bay leaves to stir-fry until fragrant, then pour in light soy sauce and dark soy sauce.
Add an appropriate amount of water, not too much, and then cover the pot and simmer for about 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, when the soup is almost consumed, add the green and red peppers and stir-fry.
Add salt to taste and simmer for a few more minutes to let the chicken absorb the flavor.
Finally, sprinkle some chopped green onions for garnish and serve.
Pay attention to the heat when frying the sugar to avoid the sugar stir-frying paste affecting the taste.
When stewing chicken, pay attention to the amount of water, not too much or too little, so as not to affect the taste.
Depending on your personal taste, you can add some chili peppers or other spices in moderation.
The above are the detailed steps to make braised chicken. The taste and texture of braised chicken varies from person to person, and you can adjust it according to your taste and preferences. I hope you can make a delicious yellow braised chicken!
