[recipe] Braised Chicken - 海参香菇焖鸡翅

Chinese New Year is about a week from now and I am sure everyone is busying with spring clean, baking new year cookies or preparing gift sets and food for your loved ones. In this week post we feature a quick Braised Chicken dish using some auspicious new year ingredients which you might be interested in.



BRAISED CHICKEN
(with sea cucumber, fish maw, mushrooms & etc)


This delicious one-pot meal consists not only chicken but also includes sea cucumber, fish maw, black moss (fatt choy) and some organic products such as white shiitake mushroom and black fungus which I received from Ryan's Grocery.

These dried shiitake mushroom has a mild meaty flavour and it cooks easily in shorter time. As for the black fungus it has a crunchier texture and it's almost odorless from those fresh ones which I often get from supermarket.

5 chicken wings, trim & halved
300g sea cucumber, cut into 1" thick slices
