Comforting Chicken Stew
After reading about Joyce’s Giddy giddy chicken stew, I have been craving for the comforting chicken stew and wanting to cook it. I didn’t have time to do grocery shopping last two days. This morning, I dug out some ingredients from the refrigerator, realized that though lack of some ingredients, I still have enough ingredients to cook chicken stew.
So, here is my version of chicken stew.
The chicken stew that my mom cooked called for potatoes and dried mushrooms. But I only have fresh mushrooms and some corns on the cobs that were intended for chicken soup. I dumped all into the stew and ended up having a big pot of chicken stew for 3-4 person, which I planned to share with my parents when I go to their place in the evening.
2 chicken breasts and 2 drumsticks (cut into bite size)
2 carrots (skinned and cut into about 1/2″ length)
2 corns (cut into 3-4 parts)
1 package of fresh mushroom (500g) (cut into two)
2 onions (sliced)
3 shallots (sliced)
1 teaspoon of bean paste (optional)
1) Heat up the wok, fry the shallots until a little brownish
2) Add in the bean paste, keep stirring until fragrance.
3) Add in the chicken, stir fry a little bit.
4) Add in the rest of of the ingredients, stir until the juice start boiling.
5) Lower the temperature and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
6) Add salt to taste. (I don’t add salt coz I used the bean paste)
This is an easy no brainer recipes that tastes good and make you feel comforting especially on a cold day.:-)
