Cooking instruction summary:

  1. Marinate chicken with soy, sesame oil and rice wine. At least for 6 hours, although overnight is best.
  2. Take the chill off the meat. Heat up some sesame oil in a wok or claypot until it is sizzling hot.
  3. Throw in garlic, ginger and spring onions. Fry briefly till fragrant. Add in chicken and sear.
  4. Keep stir-frying. Pour in the marinade liquid and the sugar. Continue to cook on medium.
  5. Once you have a rolling boil, cover the wok/claypot and let it simmer over a small flame, until all the liquid has disappeared and the chicken is on the cusp of burning.
  6. There should hardly be any gravy left. The chicken should be caramelised (charred at parts, even) and sizzling when served.

Food Joke

On hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie went straight to her grandparent's house to visit her 95 year old grandmother and comfort her. When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, "He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning." Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that 2 people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble. "Oh no, my dear, " replied granny. "Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out on the Dong." She paused, wiped away a tear and then continued, "And if that damned ice cream truck hadn't come along, he'd still be alive today!"
