Chicken and Vegetable Stew

I got ourselves some nice corns, therefore the idea to make some vegetable stew came to mind. Whenever I am out of ideas or feel like eating something light, I would make some stew. It does not matter whether it is chicken or meat stew, the taste would remind me of my childhood and hence, this delicious dish. Enjoy!





Ingredients
1/2 chicken, cut into small parts
3 garlic, chopped
2 big onions, sliced thinly
1 inch ginger, sliced thinly
1 carrot, cubed
1 corn, cut into small portions ( blanch or boil them first)
3 potatoes, cubed
button mushrooms, as desired
3 Table spoon black pepper sauce
2 Table spoon sweet soy sauce
1 Table spoon oyster sauce
lots of black and white pepper
2-3 flour, for thickening
some margarine
salt, to taste
water, as needed

Methods
1. In a heated pot, add in the margarine. When the margarine melts, put in sliced onions, ginger and garlic. Fry until golden brown.

2. Add in the flour and some water. Stir well until the mixture thickens then add more water. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

3. Then, add in the chicken parts and stir well for a few seconds before adding in enough water to cover the whole chicken. Let it simmer for a few minutes.

4. When the chicken is tender, put in the black pepper sauce, sweet soy sauce and oyster sauce. Stir well.

5. Add in the vegetables one by one with corn the last.

6. When the vegetables are half tender, add in salt and lots of black and white pepper to taste.

7. Cook until the broth thickens and all the ingredients well cooked.

8. Best served with bread or rice.
