When I was chosen as a food tester, I tried to make some stewed dishes with vinegar. Although I love simmered dishes, I often notice that the stewing sauce tends to be too salty to eat. I didn't want to waste any good sauce so I added less soy sauce and seasoned mine with vinegar to make the dish itself lighter.

I like chicken drumsticks for this recipe. They have a lot of collagen and it makes the sauce very tasty. Fry the chicken until golden brown and vegetables until slightly translucent. The chicken drumsticks this time were quite big so I used 12 of them. Increase the number if they are small. Recipe by ne-ne.

Steps

1

Boil the eggs and peel the shells. Cut the daikon and carrots into bite sizes at about 1-cm thickness.
2

Put the ● ingredients into a pot and bring to a boil. Meanwhile heat the sesame oil in a frying pan and fry the chicken drumsticks until golden brown.
3

Transfer the fried chicken drumsticks into pot with the marinade. Fry the carrot and daikon radish in the same frying pan until golden brown. Transfer them to the marinade. Add 1 boiled egg into the same pot.
4

Cover the pot and cook over a medium heat. Stir now and then and cook until the chicken drumsticks are tender.
5

Tip: To make the sauce thick and rich cook it until lightly reduced. The cartilage of the chicken will get very gelatinous and tasty.
6

If the taste of the sauce is slightly sour continue to cook for longer until the taste is more even.
7

If you use a pressure cooker: After cooking in a pressure cooker cook down the sauce until reduced to half.
