Shoyu Chicken (醬燒雞)

English

Ingredients

  • 2-3 pounds chicken thighs
  • 1 cup soy sauce (aka shoyu)
  • 1 cup sugar (I use 3/4 cup)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon garlic (crushed or minced)
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine soy sauce, sugar, water, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a high-sided sauté pan over medium heat and stir until sugar is dissolved.
  2. As soon as sugar is dissolved, place chicken in the pan. The chicken can be touching but don’t over-crowd the pan.
  3. Heat until the sauce comes to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer.
  4. Simmer uncovered for 35-40 minutes, turning the chicken over half-way through. The sauce should thicken and reduce as it is cooking.
  5. Remove from heat. Allow chicken to rest 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve with remaining sauce (sauce will thicken more upon cooling).

食材

  • 2-3 磅雞腿肉
  • 1 杯醬油（也稱為醬油）
  • 1 杯糖（我使用3/4 杯）
  • 1/2 杯水
  • 1 湯匙大蒜（切碎或切碎）
  • 2 茶匙新鮮薑蓉
  • 紅辣椒片（可選）

烹飪步驟

  1. 在中火下，將醬油、糖、水、大蒜、薑蓉和紅辣椒片放入一個深邊煎鍋中，並攪拌直到糖溶解。
  2. 一旦糖溶解，將雞放入鍋中。雞肉可以相互接觸，但不要過多擁擠鍋子。
  3. 加熱至醬汁開始沸騰，然後將火降至小火。
  4. 不蓋蓋子地燉煮35-40 分鐘，中途翻轉雞肉。隨著烹飪的進行，醬汁應該會變濃並減少。
  5. 從火上取下。讓雞肉休息2-3 分鐘後上菜。配以剩餘的醬汁（醬汁在冷卻時會變得更加濃稠）。
