I created this dish for a cooking competition in which I won consolation prize. According to my son, this dish is very delicious and he can eat it day in and day out. And I do not mind making it as often as he likes. It is just a very simple dish with easy cooking method and with very little ingredients. What are needed are just chicken, lots of garlic, green onions, birds eye chilies, light soy sauce and cooking oil.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 of a small chicken (The size of the chicken is according to the number of people who will be eating this dish. Just increase the other ingredients accordingly.)
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 stalk green onions
- 2 birds eye chilies
- 4 tbsp light soy sauce
- 6 tbsp cooking oil
Method:
- Boil some water in a steamer.
- Wash and place the chicken on a steaming plate.
- When the water is boiling, place the plate into the steamer.
- Steam the chicken for 20 minutes or till it is cooked.
- In the meantime, chop the garlic, cut the green onions into 1/2 cm long and cut the birds eye chilies into small pieces.
- Heat up the cooking oil in a small pot.
- Add the chopped garlic to the pot. Let it cook slowly over low heat for about 20 minutes until the oil is infused with the garlic.
- Once the garlic-infused oil is ready, add the green onions and birds eye chilies to the oil.
- Remove the chicken from the steamer. Transfer it onto a serving plate without the juice from steaming it.
- Pour the light soy sauce over it.
- Pour the garlic-infused oil with all the ingredients over the chicken.
- Serve.
