Chicken Simmered in Soy Sauce

Method

1. 1 Cut the chicken into 4 cm pieces and marinate with soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for 20 minutes.
2. 2 Pan-fry the chicken skin-down for 5 minutes to brown the skin and render out the fat.
3. 3 Melt the fat in the pan until it turns a reddish-brown color, then add the chicken and coat it with the colored sauce.
4. 4 Pour in 150 ml of water and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, leaving the lid open to allow the water to evaporate and turn into a sauce.
5. 5 Simmer until the sauce coats the chicken pieces, then sprinkle with pepper, green onions, and toasted sesame seeds.
