After a year, I cooked this dish again. It was one of the rare successful dishes I made when I first started learning to cook last year. It's easy to make and delicious. I switched from chicken breast to boneless chicken thighs for a more tender texture. I've also adjusted the steps and seasoning to suit my cooking habits, and it's still tasty. Every time I remake an old dish, it brings back memories. It's been a year since I started cooking, and I'm happy to see my growth in cooking and photography. :)

Steps

15 minutes

1

Heat a pan and place the chicken skin-side down. Cook until the chicken fat is rendered and the surface changes color, then set aside.
2

In the same pan, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
3

Add the scallion sections and stir-fry until aromatic (reserve some green parts for later).
4

Return the cooked chicken pieces to the pan and continue stir-frying until fully cooked.
5

Add the mixed seasoning sauce and bring to a boil, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.
6

Cook the sauce until it reduces, then add the reserved scallion greens and chili pepper. Stir-fry until well combined, and it's done.

After a year, I've adjusted the cooking steps and seasoning to my liking. It's amazing how cooking has become a part of my life, making it more fulfilling and joyful (so touching, I'm crying, another year older). I hope to continue this journey, and by this time next year, my cooking skills will be even better. :)
