Ingredients:
2 Cup Light Soy Sauce
2 Cup Broth or water
½ Cup Brown Sugar
½ Cup Cooking Sherry or wine (White Wine)
2 small Shallots, minced
2 slices Ginger, minced
1 Chicken, cut up (you can also use just drumsticks or thighs)
3-4 Star-Anise
Method:
Place all the ingredients into a large pot and bring to a boil. After the mixture has boiled, add the chicken pieces and boil for an additional 30 – 40 minutes. Drain and serve.
This dish can be served hot or cold.
You can reserve the liquid for the next time you decide to make more Soy-Sauce Chicken. Just let it cool down and strain to remove any bits of bone and place in a suitable container with a lid and place in the fridge.
I have had my mixture now for about 2 years.
