        Didn’t follow any in particular, I usually wing it after watching a few videos. For this dish I used Chinese 5 spice powder.

        Ingredients

        • Chicken
        • 4-5 cloves of garlic
        • 5 spice powder
        • Chopped Mushrooms
        • Chopped Onions
        • Fish sauce
        • Oyster sauce
        • Sugar
        • Star anise and cinnamon sticks

        Recipe

        • Marinade the chicken with soy sauce
        • Fry the chicken, chop them into medium sized pieces or whatever size you prefer. Add chopped onions, mushrooms and garlic and saute them along with the chicken. Let the chicken brown on both sides. Let the onions brown and shrink
        • Add 1 to 2 tbsp fish sauce and 1 to 2 tbsp of oyster sauce and stir well
        • Add water into the pan until it covers the chicken three quarters of the way.
        • Add star anise, cinnamon sticks and the 5 spice powder. Also add half or one tbsp sugar. Depending on how sweet you want. You can always adjust this later.
        • Lower the heat and let everything boil for 30 min with a lid.
        • Taste the sauce and add salt to taste
        • High flame again and reduce the sauce
        • Add 1 tsp corn starch slurry to thicken it up if you like.

        I think that’s about it! Enjoy :)
