Chicken Stew

Now this stew is an acquired taste, since it uses things like star anise and cinnamon. I like it because it tastes very rich to me.

What you need:
Chicken (Half will do. Or 4 fresh drumsticks)
2 sticks of cinnamon
2 star anises (whole)
Cut Potatoes (2 or 3. Depends on size)
Cut Carrots (2 will do. Unless you like carrots)
Shred Onions (2 medium sized ones)
Salt and pepper to taste

1) Boil 3/4 pot of water. I like to use this quantity, because by the time the soup is done, its prolly 1/2 level already.

2) Marinate chicken with a bit of light soya sauce and pepper.

3) Fry shredded onions till fragrant. Add chicken, cut potatos and onions. Give it a good stir fry. Toss everything in wok into the boiling water.

4) Cover the pot of boiling water. Lower flame to simmer. Add cinnamon and star anise (if you have a herb bag to use, better still... since you won't be eating any of them). Boil for at least 1 hour for the goodness of the soup to come out.

Recommendation: Serve with rice. Its a nice one dish kinda thing. Don't have to just drink the soup. Eat the meat, potatoes, carrots.
