Sesame oil chicken

I know that sesame oil chicken is Taiwanese cuisine, it is a super diet for women who give birth, it helps the recovery, usually they eat this dish from 3rd week after delivery. This dish helps to keep fit too.

Even though you are not pregnant or you are not giving birth, you can still cook it, it is very time saving and delicious.

Anyways, I saw this recipe online from a nutrient specialist, so I looked into it... To be precise, I didn't give birth, but it has been long time I haven't cooked meat at home, that's why I want to give it a try.

You can eat this dish with rice :) My husband ate 2 large bowls of rice with lots of sauce... Yummmmm!

You can use drumsticks too :)

I think it is the best to serve with noodles :)

Ingredients
5 chicken thighs*
2tbsp dark sesame oil**
1tsp goji, soaked a until it swells
8 slices fresh ginger

1cup rice wine
1cup water
1 small rock sugar or crystal sugar

1tbsp soya sauce

*In the original recipe it is one whole chicken, but I think it is better to use only thighs, you can also use drumsticks
**I used only light sesame oil, you can click here to see the difference between dark and light sesame oil

Instructions
1. Fry the chicken with sesame oil, goji and ginger until the chicken become golden brown

2. Add wine and water, boil it
When it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low heat, to stew the chicken for 25mins

3. After 25mins, turn off the heat and add soya sauce

PS if you eat it as leftover the next day, you can even remove the oil on the surface by a spoon :) then it is even healthier

Enjoy!
