Lunch Box: Blackpepper Chicken & Pak Choy

I always prepare lunch box for me and my housemate as early as 5.45am before leaving to office at 6.45pm daily. 45 minutes to cook, shower and get prepare to work make me very rushing at every morning but I still happy with it.

Here I shared about how I made this Blackpepper Chicken, and boiled Pak Choy.


Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 30 minutes 

Note: Normally I will go shower and get dress for work while waiting the dish ready (under small fire)




Ingredient

  • 400 gm chicken with bone (Cut into small size)
  • 200 gm of potatoes (Cut into big chunk)
  • 1 inch of ginger (Chopped)
  • 3 cloves of garlic (Chopped)
  • 3 table spoon or enough amount of Cooking Caramel or Thick Soy Sauce (For colouring)
  • 8 table spoon or enough amount of sweet soy sauce
  • 2 table spoon of enough amount of light soy sauce
  • 4 cups of water (or chicken stock)
  • 3 table spoon of corn flour
  • 4 table spoon of black pepper
  • 3 table spoon of cooking oil for stir-fry
  • Salt for taste

Method

  • Add the cooking oil into your frying pan. Once it hot, add the chopped garlic, chopped ginger and wait until it turn brown with nice smell.
  • Next, add chicken into the pan, food caramel, sweet soy sauce, light soy sauce and black pepper.
  • Add some water, or chicken stock and cover the pan for few minutes.
  • Open the pan's lid and add the chunks of potatoes and more water if necessary.
  • The chicken and potatoes normally will ready after 15 to 20 minutes on medium fire. Continuously add water if you see its going to get dry. You also can add more soy sauce and salt based on your personal taste. 
  • To end up the cooking process, add 3 table spoon of corn floor into small bowl and add some water. Stir it and pour it into the pan. Mix well all ingredient and turn of the fire when the chicken get sticky and thick.
  • To garnish, you may put some chopped scallion on top of your serving plate.
As for the Pak Choy, I just boiled some water in a cooking pan, and once it boiled, I add the veggies for about 2 minutes and drained it.
