Tau Eu Chicken – Black Soy Sauce Chicken

This dish has been a favorite to many, from young to old for many generations. Many people would never get bored with this dish for lunch and for dinner. If you use kampong chicken, you will have to boil for almost 2 hours else the meat would be too hard. If you use normal chicken, boil 1- 1.5 hours max else your chicken will be too soft. This delicious Tau Eu chicken may take some time to cook but you could just have this one dish with everything in it and need not cook another dish for the day. All in one pot.

While boiling the chicken, I was already thinking about the Tau Eu (Soy sauce) mixing up with my white rice! Absolutely delicious!

If you plan on adding more side dishes like the following:-

Potatoes – add in 30 minutes before serving,

Lettuce – add in 2 minutes before serving.

Boiled Eggs – 30minutes before serving.

Pick one? Pick all? Suit yourself.
