Chicken Braised With Ginger And Star Anise
My family loves this quick, easy chicken recipe. Don't expect a thick, clingy sauce-it's not-but it goes really well over steamed rice, served in deep bowls.
Steps
Heat a wok over medium heat , add the peppercorns and cook , shaking often for 3 minutes , or until fragrant.
Remove and crush lightly with the back of a knife.
Reheat the wok , add the oil and swirl to coat.
Add the ginger and garlic and cook over a low heat for 1-2 minutes , or until lightly golden.
Add the chicken , increase the heat to medium and cook for 3 minutes , or until browned all over.
Add the remaining ingredients , reduce the heat and simmer , covered , for 20 minutes , or until the chicken is tender.
Serve with rice.
