Once again I did not step out of the house to get groceries. Yes, I'm such a procrastinator, I've been wanting to do it for a week now but everytime I just postpone.
Monday's dinner was a result of the procrastination. You see, I've ran out of onions. And I only have a whole chicken in the fridge. So what did I do? Find a recipe where cooking doesn't involve any onions hahaha. Couldn't think of any cos onion is such an essential ingredient.
So I thought of cooking with the next most essential ingredient - garlic!
And I found this garlic chicken recipe! I had a tahu kering set and that would be made into a simple soup dish, of which I added too much garlic. Hurhur. Note to self: never EVER use more than three cloves in a soup. It'll just be bitter.
Anyway. I tried the chicken recipe and Other Half loves it! Although he only ate one piece -_-"
I wasn't confident of the taste, didn't know if he liked it and I know he won't like the tahu kering soup so I told him to buy something if he wanted to.
Anyway! Here's what I did.
Ingredients
700g chicken
A:
1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 inch ginger
1-1/4 cups water
3 tablespoons teaspoons honey
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
B:
2 tablespoons potato starch (cos that's what I have haha)
1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons water
Bake chicken at 190 degrees C for 25-30 min.
Mix ingredients A together, bring to a boil. Separately in a bowl, mix ingredients B together.
Add B into boiling A and stir until mixture thickens.
Once thickened, pour mixture onto baked chicken, and get it back in the oven for about 20 more minutes or until mixture dries up.
Will definitely do this again when I'm out of onions! Haha!
