Chicken with Special Ginger Sauce

I can kill two birds with one stone with this chicken dish.  Simply cook the chicken thighs in boiling water then use the stock to prepare a vegetable soup [see recipe here].  Chopped up the chicken thighs and serve with this special ginger/black vinegar sauce and plain white rice.  Isn't it simple enough dinner for a family of 3 on a busy weekday?
Really yummylicious boiled chicken.  Great with this sauce.


Ingredients
[recipe adapted from Yum Yum magazine with slight modifications]
3 pieces meaty chicken thighs - fats and some skin removed 

Dipping Sauce [mixed together]
3 tbsp black vinegar
1 tbsp shaoxing wine
1-1/2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp water
2 tbsp chopped ginger 
1 red chilli - seeded and chopped
2 stalks of coriander leaves - chopped
  1. Bring a pot of water enough to cook chicken pieces to boil.  Put in chicken thighs.  Let the water boils again.  Cover, off heat and leave chicken pieces in the water for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Remove and set aside.  
  3. Put all the sauce ingredients in a small mixing bowl.  Mix together.
  4. Cut chicken pieces into bite size pieces.  Place on serving plate.

  5. Pour sauce ingredients over chicken and serve immediately.

    Hi Phong Hong, my niece who doesn't eat chopped chillies also asked for more sauce for the chicken.

    Hi Esther, this sauce is great with the chicken. Not oily at all.

    Hi Alvin, sometimes I'm thought simple dishes aren't good or welcome. But they are definitely worth trying.

    Hi Lena, it's okay. Welcome back. The dipping sauce should be good with garlic since both garlic/ginger blend very well with chicken.
