One of our usual home food: Chicken in Red Yeast Gravy (红糟)! My favourite part is the knuckle (pictured in the centre!) Another great accompaniment to rice!
Recipe from Mum:
Ingredients:
Sesame Oil
Cooking Oil
Light Soy Sauce
Ginger Juice
8-10 cloves Garlic
2 - 3 Tbsp Fermented Red Yeast Paste
Red Wine/Cooking Sherry
Salt to Taste
Method:
1. Season chicken meat with sesame oil, a dash of light soy sauce and ginger juice. Keep in the fridge for a few hours.
2. Add 1 part cooking oil and 1 part sesame oil to wok, crush 8 to 10 whole cloves of garlic (lightly smash, do not chop).
3. Fry Red Yeast Paste over slow fire until fragrant (around 3 minutes).
4. Add chicken and stir-fry.
5. Add Red Wine/Cooking Sherry and a little water if it gets too sticky.
6. Simmer over slow fire until chicken is cooked.
7. Add salt to taste.
Note: It's a good idea to taste the Red Yeast Paste before adding salt because some brands of paste can be extremely salty. We bought ours here from:
Foo Chow Fishball Noodles
33/35 Sultan Gate
Kampong Glam Conservation Area
p.s. I love their Foo Chow Fishballs and Wanton (燕皮) too!
