Braised Chicken with Carrot, Potato and Onions

Ingredients
a. 8 ~10 pcs small chicken drumlets

b. 2 tsps light soy sauce
c. 1 tsp seasame oil
d. 1 level tblsp sugar
e. a dash of black pepper
f. 3 potatoes
g. 1 carrot
h. 1 yellow onion
i. 1 leek
j. 2 cloves of garlic


Preparation Part 1: Marinate chicken

Step 1: Place chicken in a bowl.
Step 2: Combine the ingredient from label b. to e. with the chicken and mixed well.
Step 3: Using cling wrap, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour or over night (for better taste)

Preparation Part 2: Prepare the remaining ingredients


Step 4: Remove skin on the onion, potatoes and carrots and cut into desired shape. Rinse to remove any dirt.
Step 5: Rinse leek and sliced finely.
Step 6: Remove the skin on the garlic and chopped finely.


Cooking time






Step 7: Heat 1~2 tblsp oil in a pot
Step 8: Add in marinated chicken and stir fry till golden brown and remove from pot
Step 9: Using the same pot with medium heat, add in the another tblsp of oil and fry the garlic till golden brown.
Step 10: Add in potato and stir fry till cooked.
Step 11: Add in carrot and stir fry till cooked.
Step 12: Add in chicken, onion and leek and fill with water enough to cover at least 1/2 to 3/4 of the dish.
Step 13: When water started to boil, cover the pot with lid and reduce heat to low heat and simmer for 30 minutes

Sidenote:
1. Leek is optional. Happened to have it in my fridge so I just added it in.
2. If using big size drumstick, might want to check if it is well-cooked during step 8. Alternatively, maybe can increase the simmer duration to 40 minutes in step 13 so that the meat will be tender and the inside is cooked completely.

My microwave oven has been quite cranky (the plate doesn't rotate 90% of the time) so I tried using air fryer and it worked just fine! Air Fryer Setting - temperature @ 160C - timer set to 12 minutes This time round, I changed the recipe to Batch 1 : Ingredients a. 70g almond b. 20g pumpkin seeds c. 10g sunflower seeds d. 50g-70g florentine powder Batch 2: Ingredients a. 70g butter almond b. 20g pumpkin seeds c. 10g sunflower seeds d. 100g florentine powder Instruction: 1. In a large bowl, simply mixed almond, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds (ingredient a-c) and stir in florentine powder a tablespoon at a time for easier mixing. 2. Spread onto the air fryer baking tray. (Note: to line the baking tray with baking paper) 3. Set air fryer temperature to 160C and timer set to 12 minutes 4. Keep tabs on the almond florentine, once turn brown, it's time to re...
