Nyonya Char Muar Eu Kay [Sesame Oil Chicken]

This is the first time I cooked Sesame Oil Chicken with taucheo [preserved salted soybean paste].  Turns out to be good.

Ingredients

original recipe from Nyonya Flavours

[serves 4-5]

3 big size chicken thighs [about 600 gm] - skin removed cut into 3 pieces each

[marinate with 1/2 tsp salt and 2 tbsp cooking wine for 20-30 minutes]

2 cloves garlic - chopped

50 gm old ginger - cut fine shreds

2 tbsp taucheo [soybean paste]

250 ml water

2 tbsp sesame oil

1. Heat sesame oil in wok, saute ginger and garlic until brown and aromatic. 
2. Add bean paste, stir fry for a few seconds.
3. Add chicken, stir fry to combine well for 5 minutes.
4. Add water, bring to boil then simmer until chicken is tender [about 20 minutes] and gravy is reduced [can transfer to claypot, then simmer until chicken is tender and gravy is reduced].  Serve in claypot.
5. Dish up to serve.
