Leeky Chicken

No, the chicken did not leak! It's cooking chicken with Chinese leek for dinner tonight.

I didn't have time to go to the market today mainly because we arrived home late from our outing with the girls. Then the gate guy came around 4.30pm to fix our gate. By the time he was done it was 5pm and Mia needed to have her milk. By the time that's done, its 5.15pm and I couldn't be bothered to join the traffic as people made their way home from work.

So, I had to make make do with what's in my kitchen.

What I used:
400g chicken thigh cut into smaller pieces (this is a staple in our freezer!)
3 cloves garlic, crushed & minced
a thumb of ginger, sliced
3 stalks of Chinese leek
1/2 cup of water
1 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon of cornflour, dissolved in water

1. Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non stick pan
2. Put in the ginger into the pan
   
3. Put all chicken pieces in the pan and stir fry until slightly white
4. Pour in the garlic and continue to stir fry
5. Once garlic is slightly brown, pour in a half a cup of water, continue to stir as water simmers then pour in the chicken stock
6. Cover and let chicken cook
7. Once cooked pour in the cornflour and as the sauce thickens, pour in the leeks and turn off the heat
