Chicken Drumsticks Stewed with Vinegar

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.
