Bitter Melon and Chicken 豆豉苦瓜炆雞


Almost everywhere I go, meal in a pot is always the favorite winter home cooking. Here I marinated some chicken thighs (cut into small pieces) with ginger, garlic, sugar, salt, soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil and shaoxing liquor. It is then very lightly browned in the clay pot before soak and rinsed cure black bean, garlic, ginger and hot chili peppers are added. After a few second, bitter melon is added, and then some water. Cooked over medium heat under the lid for a few minute and it is done. Rice just lives it.
