Soy Sauce Chicken Noodle
The Meatmen
August 17, 2016
This may not be a Michelin Star recipe, but it sure is one heck of a dish! Soya sauce chicken is a classic Cantonese meat dish.Cooked in a soy sauce mixture, the taste of the braised chicken is oh so good.
Braise it to perfection and paired with your Hong Kong noodles tossed in the braising sauce. We used chicken thighs instead of the whole chicken so there’s no need to fight on who gets the drumsticks 😉 When paired with your pickled green chillies, this makes for a sumptuous noodly dish. Cook this for your family over the weekend and enjoy the taste!
