Chicken with Potatoes, Carrots and Mushrooms

I am back after the long festive holidays. I had the chance of cooking a couple of dishes and this is one of them. My mum cooks this dish quite often too. I guess it's because it is quite easy and simple to cook. I usually remove the skin of the chicken prior to cooking this dish for health reasons. Furthermore, I don't like the dish to turn out with a layer of oil. In the picture below, I have yet to remove the skin.

Ingredients

Once you have mastered this dish, you can experiment with the ingredients - eg. adding baby corn, different types of mushrooms, celery etc.

This is my recipe for Chicken with Potatoes, Carrots and Mushrooms.

Ingredients
  • 2 chicken drumsticks & thigh (chop to desired size)
  • 1 medium sized carrot (cut to wedges)
  • 2 small sized potatoes (cut to wedges)
  • 4 pieces dried chinese mushrooms (pre-soaked)
  • 5 cloves garlic (chopped)
  • 3 tablespoons cooking oil (preferably palm oil)
  • 1 cup warm water
Marinade
  • 3 teaspoons light soya sauce
  • a couple of dashes of white pepper powder
  • 1 teaspoon of corn flour
Seasoning
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dark soya sauce
  • Salt to taste

Method

Marinade chicken for 30 - 60 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oil in wok and fry potatoes till golden brown. Remove fried potatoes from oil.

With remaining oil in wok and at medium heat, saute the chinese mushrooms for 1 minute. Increase to high heat and add chicken and garlic and stir fry for another minute till outer layer of chicken is cooked. Add fried potatoes and carrots and continue stir frying for another minute.

Add seasoning and water and close lid. Cook for another 3 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.

alex and babe_kl : You can actually substitute it with other types of mushroom. The dried mushrooms come in different grades, the best being the Japanese types. Those are really fragrant, big sized and has nice "criss-cross patterns" on the top.
