ONE POT BRAISED CHICKEN
ORIENTAL-STYLE
This evening, Justine is taking a short break from her books and helping me to prepare dinner. Her Dad is still outstation, so dinner will be just for two. Having said, in the end, we kinda cooked like, for 4. Jus will do the frying, and I'll just toss stuffs in.
I'm not going to bother to chop up the chicken, because ... to be REALLY honest, I don't know how to chop chicken. I don't have the strength for it. I have tried a few times before (it's not like I didn't try - I did!), and the chicken piece, after my handling, looked very massacred.
Too many slash lines here and there, never at the same spot when the cleaver comes down, and the bones all end up getting crumbled as well, those bit and pieces of the broken bones later would disturb the smooth texture of the food, and we'd find ourselves busy picking the bones out of our mouths, instead of enjoying the food.
Since then, I leave the chopping to Bryan. Let's just work with our strengths, I feel. :D
