There are countless recipes using chicken and that does not stop one from inventing still newer recipes. Cuisines continuously evolve and sometimes it is nice to cook simple recipes so that you enjoy the natural taste of the ingredients. Remove this, add that and voila! The thing tastes different!

Ingredients:

1 kg. Chicken

¼ cup Dark soy sauce

½ tsp. Black pepper (ground)

2 tbsp. Garlic (minced)

1 pc. Onion (medium, finely chopped)

¼ cup Water

1 tbsp. Sesame oil

2 tbsp. Safflower oil

Cooking Instruction:

Heat oil in the pressure cooker and sauté in the oil the garlic until golden brown. Once the garlic is golden brown toss in the onion and ginger and sauté the onion until it starts to caramelize. Toss in the chicken and stir to blanch the surface. Add the soy sauce, black pepper, and water. Pressure cook for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes turn off the flame and allow to cool normally. Do not vent the steam. Allow it to cool normally which takes about 10-15 minutes. The additional time afforded by the normal cool down is used for additional cooking of the contents. Once safe to open, remove the cover and skim off any excess fat to further reduce the fat content of the dish. Add the sesame oil and mix well. Enjoy with plain steamed buns or top on steamed rice.
