Ingredients for a Hearty Chicken Stew
Cooking a delightful chicken stew can be both simple and satisfying. To begin, gather your ingredients: chicken, potatoes, green and red peppers, onions, garlic, scallions, ginger, and an array of spices such as peppercorns, star anise, and bay leaves. You will also need white sugar, salt, dark soy sauce, and light soy sauce to enhance the flavors of your dish.
Preparing the Chicken and Vegetables
Start by cutting the chicken into pieces and washing them thoroughly with clean water—not forgetting to remove any excess water afterward. In a pot, add some oil and sugar, then stir-fry until bubbles emerge. Quickly add the chicken pieces, letting them cook until they are slightly charred and the oil becomes clear. At this stage, introduce finely chopped onions, ginger, and garlic along with your chosen spices, allowing the mix to stir-fry until fragrant.
Simmering the Stew
Once the aroma fills your kitchen, pour in dark soy sauce, continuing to stir-fry until the flavors blend beautifully. Add enough clean water to reach the same level as the chicken and sprinkle in a little pepper before allowing it to simmer for approximately fifteen minutes. Meanwhile, peel and cut the potatoes into large pieces and add them to the pot until they become tender. Season to taste with a suitable amount of salt.
Finally, when the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are soft with a thickened soup, add in your raw green and red peppers, as well as chopped scallions. Stir-fry for a minute before serving this delightful chicken stew, ready to enjoy with your loved ones!
