Soya Sauce Mushroom Chicken With Braised Eggs 香菇豉油鸡


Tired of eating fried chicken but still want chicken ? Try this......
This is one of my regular dishes serve on dinner table; it is also my boy favorite especially the braised eggs (卤蛋) in it. When he sees this dish on dinner table, he can finish his dinner within no time. J

This dish is not only great to go with rice, the leftover especially the sauce is great to go with dry noodles (干捞面) for next day lunch. As I always say cooking is kind of an art, be adventurous to add in color to your dish, explore to use ingredients as you like to your taste.

For this recipe, other than sticking to the marinade sauce and chicken, you can have your own variation for the rest of the ingredients by adding veggie too. My version change very much depend on what in my fridge for that day J

Yesterday when I cooked them, I only have button mushroom, well look like time to do more marketing to stock up ……..
