Dark Soy Sauce Chicken

I have always loved dark soy sauce with chicken or pork. The boyfie and I love having some gravy on our dishes and it is one of the easiest thing to cook cause I get to multitask by letting the chicken simmer in the dark soy sauce broth while I wash up or prepare other things. Mine is perhaps a little different or even just the same as others but I did not bother to look up for recipe and has always been just cooking according to my own way. I do a lot of tasting test while cooking just to make sure it is right.

Basically these things are quite easily available at home and if you have any meat, you can cook them.

Ingredients:-

7-8 pieces of chicken (or sliced pork) the amount for this is totally up to you.
2 tablespoon of dark soy sauce
4 tablespoon of soy sauce (can add somemore during cooking if it is not enough)
3 teaspoon of sugar
pepper to taste
1-2 onions. Cut into wedges.
100 ml water.

Additional ingredients:-
2 potatoes cubed
half a carrot (or more depending on your preference) cubed

Method:-
1. First marinate the chicken or pork slices with dark soy sauce, soy sauce, sugar and pepper.
2. Leave in the fridge for about 30 minutes to 1 hour (if you have lesser time to marinate, you can still go on with it but taste better if you have at least 30 minutes).
3. When you are ready to cook, heat up a tablespoon of oil and stir-fry the onions. Mix carrots and potatoes.
4. Then pour the marinated chicken and the sauce into the wok/pan and add the water.
5. Cover it and allow it to simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Taste the sauce and do some adjustment if needed. Add water if it is too salty or sweet.
6. Allow it to simmer for another 5 minutes and test your chicken by poking a chopstick over it to feel the texture. If it is easy to poke in, it is cooked.

Dish out and it is ready to be served with rice! Love it.
