Chicken & Carrot Stew

Chicken & Carrot Stew
What other dish where you just throw everything into a pot and wait for it to cook by itself? If you have a slow cooker you can just dump everything inside. Walah.. once you are back from work, its ready to fill your stomach. 

This time,  I will just cut the carrots into huge chunks, because it’s a stew. If I cut it to thin, by the time the food is ready, the carrots probably melted. If they are in huge chunks, it will take a longer time to cook, which is just perfect for stewing time.

Ingredients

1 pack chicken meat

1 carrot, 2 cloves garlic

1 shallot, ½ teaspoon sugar, ¼ cup water

2 tablespoon soy sauce

2 tablespoon oyster sauce

Prepare & cook

Heat oil add onion

Add garlic + carrot for 5 minutes

Add chicken & oyster sauce

Add 2 tablespoon soy sauce

½ cup water.

Let it simmer for half hour. If it dries up, you can add more water.

Ready to serve

Why do we add shallots first then followed by garlic? Why not put them all at once or garlic first then shallots? Because garlic cook faster than shallots. To avoid your garlic to be burn and turn bitter, put the shallots first.
