Let’s get cooking

01
Prepare chicken and potatoes
Pat chicken dry without rinsing raw poultry. Peel and cube potatoes, discarding green or sprouted ones.
02
Brown gently
Heat oil over medium heat in a heavy pot. Brown the drained meat for 4–6 minutes, turning, then add ginger and stir for 30 seconds.
03
Simmer covered
Add soy sauces, measured water, and no additional vegetables yet. Bring to a boil, then cover and keep at a gentle simmer for 20 minutes. Add a little hot water if the pan begins drying out.
04
Add potatoes
Add potatoes and simmer covered 15–20 minutes until tender. Check chicken reaches 74°C away from bone. Uncover briefly to reduce sauce if needed.
