Braised Soy Chicken and Potatoes, Mama's Recipe

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Soak 50 g tamarind in 150 ml water, working it with a spoon, then leave it for a while.
  2. Meanwhile, peel 5 hard boiled eggs and set them aside.
  3. Peel 500 g of potatoes.
  4. Cut the potatoes into medium chunks, not too large so they cook through easily.
  5. Heat enough frying oil in a pan.
  6. Fry the potatoes just until a skin forms so they do not fall apart during the long braise, then lift them out.
  7. Leave the heat on and fry the boiled eggs straight away over medium low heat, covering the pan because the oil will spit a lot.
  8. Once the egg skins are golden brown, take them out.
  9. Squeeze the softened tamarind for its juice; keep the pulp, as it can be reused if the braise is not sour enough.
  10. Thinly slice 15 shallots and 8 cloves of garlic.
  11. Deseed 1 large red chilli, then slice it roughly lengthwise.
  12. Take a pot, add enough vegetable oil, then fry the shallots and garlic until golden brown.
  13. Lift out and drain the fried shallots and garlic, leaving a little behind in the pot.
  14. With the heat still on, add 500 g chicken and cook until it changes colour.
  15. Add the tamarind water, 2 tbsp dark soy sauce and 2 tbsp sweet soy sauce.
  16. Add 4 star anise and the cinnamon, then stir until evenly combined.
  17. Add the fried potatoes.
  18. Pour in 1 litre of water.
  19. Add the fried eggs.
  20. Cover the pot and cook until it comes to a boil.
  21. Once boiling, add 4 tbsp sugar and most of the fried shallots, keeping a little back for garnish.
  22. Once the chicken and potatoes are tender, add the sliced chilli.
  23. Cook briefly, then take it off the heat and serve topped with the reserved fried shallots.
