    Thanks for introducing this awesome dish. There must be some crunch and texture to this dish - from the water chestnuts. I would certainly pair it with plain congee.

Spicy Chicken with Korean sauce

I had a look at the Korean sauces that were sitting idle in the fridge and thought what would be the outcome if I mixed them up.  I had to experiment to find out.  So, I got hold of some chicken leg, debone them, mixed in some sauces and cooked up this dish.  Family members said that they tasted somewhat like satay chicken but nodded in agreement that they were delicious :) Recipe for Spicy Chicken with Korean sauce Ingredients                                                                   3 chicken leg, deboned        4 pips of garlic, minced 1  tsp sugar 1/2  tsp salt 1/2...
