Braised Chicken with Miso Paste

Many happenings at home and with DH overseas, I'm struggling alone so I'm just going to post another quick entry here, just to show my presence.

This is another recipe with miso paste and my kids love it.  Thanks Anncoo for sharing this great recipe!  I've reduced the seasonings slightly as my cooking is relatively bland.

Braised Chicken with Miso Paste

Ingredients

500g Chicken Thigh - cut to pieces
250g Potatoes - remove skin and cut to pieces
1/2 tbsp Dark soy sauce
1 tbsp Miso paste
1/2 tbsp Garlic - chopped
1/2 tsp Sugar
125 - 150ml Water (estimated)

Seasonings
1/4 tsp sesame oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tbsp Dark soy sauce

Method

1. Clean and wash chicken (I like mine with skin removed). Pat dry chicken with kitchen towel and cut to pieces. Marinate chicken with seasonings for 1-2 hours.
2. Heat enough oil in wok, add chopped garlic and miso paste and fry for a while till aromatic.
3. Add in chicken pieces with another 1/2 tbsp dark soy sauce and sugar, continue to stir fry chicken well.
4. Lastly add in cut potatoes, mix well with the chicken, add in just enough water to cover the chicken. Bring water to boil and cover with lid, lower heat and simmer for about 20 mins or potatoes soften.
5. Add a little more water when the sauce dries up a little.
6. Lastly add corn flour with water as thickening. (optional - I omit).
7. Serve hot with rice.
