Chicken Braised with Ginger and Star Anise image

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.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon szechuan peppercorns
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 pieces fresh ginger, finely julienned (3cm each)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 kg chicken thigh fillet, cut into thirds
1/3 cup rice wine (I don't have it so I use Sake)
1 tablespoon honey (I have used maple syrup)
1/4 cup light soy sauce (I have used the dark successfully)
1 star anise

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.
