It can be said that chicken is the most frequently used ingredients in my cooking. Simply because chicken is the most affordable of all kinds of meat. Almost every week, chicken is included in my shopping list. I often buy a whole chicken, breaking it into separate parts to use in different dishes.
Sometimes getting tired of the old flavor and the familiar way of preparing a chicken dish, I would read my books or searching about on the Internet to find a new flavor for my chicken dish. And this is a recipe I found from my book ‘Bowl Food’. This dish is full of Asian flavor. I often cook braised chicken with ginger and fish sauce. However, this time there are some changes in the ingredients, which makes the dish totally different in flavor. The flavors are richer and there are more to experience: the fragrance of ginger and especially the typical smell of star anise, the sweetness of honey, the tender saltiness of soy sauce. All bring in great taste to this simple chicken dish.
