Chinese Braised Chicken & Mushroom (小鸡炖蘑菇)

a super EASY one pot dish, done in minutes

the first time I tried making this, I immediately thought that it was similar to ‘Ayam Masak Kicap’ a staple dish I grew up with which combines chicken with kecap manis. on a similar note, this is a homey dish which is significant in memory to several of my Chinese friends and their mothers would often cook this for dinner as a quick fix.

what I come to love about this braised chicken and mushroom dish is its simplicity and how the flavours of ginger are garlic comes together with the earthy notes of shiitake which turns into an almost glaze-like sauce which clings onto the chicken midjoints. the delightful addition of beancurd skin which soaks up the sauce adds to a nice textural contrast takes the dish to another level.

this dish is also perfect as meal prep as its stores well in the freezer for times that you’d need a quick meal fix.
