Cooking project @ 11 April 2009

Menu for the evening:
1) Sambal prawn
2) Coca-cola chicken

Sambal prawn (one of hubby's signature dish)


Coca-cola chicken (cooked by Li Li)


Inspired by the recipe on The Star Online Kuali, I gave it a try.

Ingredients
½ a chicken, chopped into bite-sized pieces
5 dried Chinese mushrooms, soaked and halved
5 slices ginger
2 stalks spring onion
1 tbsp rock sugar
125ml light soy sauce
1 can (325ml) Coca-Cola
½ tsp salt
½ tsp sesame oil

Method
Combine chicken, mushrooms, ginger, spring onion, rock sugar and light soy sauce in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes.

Add Coca-Cola, salt and sesame oil and continue to simmer for 10-15 minutes or until gravy is reduced. Serve immediately.

The chicken was a bit 'watery' because I only realised that the recipe was meant for 1/2 chicken. Anyway, end result..I think it taste more like soy sauce chicken rather than coca-cola chicken.
