Ginger wine Chicken


My all time favorite dish.

Ingredients:
1. 4 pieces of chicken thigh
2. handful of black fungus soaked overnight to soften
3. 3 tablespoon of goji berries
4. finely sliced ginger. I used around a thumb size ginger. Hubs say needed more ginger but the kids are also having this so i did not want to make it too hot
5. 350 ml mirin (sweet wine) and 200ml Chinese cooking wine
6. 1 cup water
7. Salt to taste
8. Sesame oil

Method:
1. heat up wok with sesame oil. Fry the ginger till it is soft and fragrant
2. Add the chicken and cook for around 2 minutes
3. add in the wine and cook open until it boils
4. once boil, cooked covered under low heat for 30 minutes
5. add in water, goji berries and black fungus. Season with salt
6. Cook for another 10 minutes. Serve with warm rice

If you don't like it sweet, try to reduce the mirin and use more chinese wine ratio. Either way this dish will please during the cold winter nights.
