Chinese chicken stew

Chinese chicken stew (serves 3)

This is actually my mother's recipe, which was passed down from my paternal grandmother.

Chinese chicken stew

Ingredients:

6 drumsticks, each chopped to 4 pieces
3 potatoes, roll cut
2 carrots, roll cut
1 large white onion, chopped into cubes
100g of shiitake mushrooms, cut into quarters
2 teaspoons of garlic, finely chopped
3 tablespoons of Chinese cooking wine (花雕酒)
1 tablespoon of corn flour
2 shallots, finely chopped
Salt
Pepper


Instructions:

1) Mix the Chinese cooking wine with some salt and pepper.
2) Heat some oil on a large pan, then fry the shallots and garlic. When they turn slightly brown, add the white onions in.
3) After a while, add the chicken pieces, potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms in. Stir well.
4) Around 5 minutes later, add the sauce from step 1 in, along with a small bowl of water.
5) Once it has boiled, turn the fire low and let it simmer for around 30 to 40 minutes.
6) Mix the corn flour with a bit of water, then slowly add it into the pan while stirring continuously. This is to prevent the corn flour from clumping together.
7) Serve.
