Dark Soy Sauce Chicken 酱油鸡

This is one of my childhood dish that I often eat at my aunt's place.  Sadly, it doesn't come close to the taste that I can recall but still acceptable. Plus point for this dish is it's fast and easy to cook. I'm using mid joint wings for this dish. You can use drumsticks chopped into smaller pieces, which is what my aunt used to do.

Ingredients:

• 6 Mid Joint Wings or 2 Drumstick chopped into 3 pcs each
• 1 Large Onion, chopped into chunks
• 1 Red Chilli, de-seed and sliced into pieces
• Oil for frying

Marinade:

1. 1/2 teaspoon Salt
2. 1/2 teaspoon Sesame Seed Oil
3. 1 1/2 tablespoon Corn Flour

Seasonings:

• 1/2 tablespoon Oyster Sauce
• 2 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dark Soy Sauce (I use Tiger Premium Dark Soy Sauce)
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 200ml Water

How to do it:

1. Marinate chicken pieces with marinade for half an hour.
2. Deep fry chicken till golden brown.
3. Drain and set aside.
4. Heat wok with a tablespoon of oil.
5. Fry onion and chilli till fragrant.
6. Add in the chicken and seasonings.
7. Stir fry to coat well with seasonings.
8. Serve.

Baked Cod Teriyaki 日式照烧鳕鱼

Here's another easy and simple. Before I have an oven I use to make this dish using the regular pan.

The ingredients are the same. Only difference is the cooking method. The latter method requires more steps and monitoring. The flavour is more intense too.

Now with an oven, I prefer the easier and the less hassle way to do it. If you want an even easier way, use instant teriyaki sauce which can be easily found in supermarkets. I prefer to make my own marinade as it allows me to control the flavours.

Whichever way you like, this is one easy dish you have to try.

Ingredients:

• 1 piece of Cod or Salmon

Marinade:

• 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar or regular fine sugar
• 1 tablespoon Mirin
• 1 tablespoon Wine
• 2 tablespoon Soy Sauce

How to do it:

1. Mix the marinade.
2. Place cod in a ziploc bag and pour in the marinade.
3. Squeeze the air out and seal the bag.
4. Leave cod to marinate in the fridge for at least 1/2 an hour.
5. Lay baking tray with baking paper (I use Glad Baking Paper)
6. Place the cod with a tablespoon of marinade.
7. Bake at 200c for 15 minutes.
8. Turn over and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes or till cod is completely cooked
9. Remove and serve immediately.

Note:
I use baking paper so the cod doesn't stick to the tray during baking.
