lunch with housemates, by jb

jb was in the mood to cook for us, so we all agreed. i was a lil bit sceptical with his menu; fried cabbage, and see yau kai. but anyway, the see yau kai turned out fine! so was the fried cabbage. i guess it's always better to stay positive for someone's food. i'm looking forward to more home cooked meals now!

i helped him with the dishes and stuff, so more or less i've been looking at the way he cook. so here's the see yau kai

Ingredients:

• one chicken, cleaned and cut into pieces
• a handful of sliced old ginger
• some chopped garlic
• salt and sugar to taste
• dark soya sauce

Method:

• Stir fry the ginger until it is fragrant. Add in garlic and continue to fry until fragrant.
• Add in chicken, stir fry in high flame until chicken is almost cooked.
• Add in dark soya sauce and water.
• Then, add in salt and sugar. Simmer for a while until the chicken is cooked.
  
• Serve with rice.

Serves 3 to 4

Sugar. That was what made me doubtful. i've never heard of see yau kai with sugar before. and when he really asked me for sugar, i knew he was serious. so in went the salt and sugar. it tasted nice. unique i'd say. and he said it was his dad's secret recipe... i wonder how true is it? hahah

anyways, thanks for the meal.
