Soy-simmered Chicken

Ingredients

• white rice
• 4 tsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp shredded ginger
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 cup Chinese cooking wine or dry sherry
• 4 star anise
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 4 chicken breast fillets

Method

Start cooking the rice. Place the sesame oil, ginger, soy sauce, sugar, Chinese cooking wine, star anise, and cinnamon stick in a frying pan over medium-low heat and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes each side or until cooked through. Serve on plates with the sauce from the pan, steamed greens, and rice. Serves 4.

NB I have doubled the sauce ingredients from original recipe (they are listed doubled).
