Soy Sauce Chicken for the Birthday Girl, Unusual and festive! Traditionally in China this would be made with a whole chicken, but this rendition from Eileen Yin-Fei Lo is better for you! She remembers having the original version at birthday celebrations for her grandmother Ah Paw. She recommends serving it with stir-fried string beans., I made this for my daughter for her birthday as a surprise, but when I gave it to her she started crying and said she wanted McDonalds. Smh, Unfortunately there are not enough words in the English language to say how amazing this meal is. Leaving the chicken to marinade for an hour was nothing short of sadism, but it was SO worth it! The flavours soaked through right to the bone and it was a fantastic. Instead of a sauce or dressing on the stir fry, I poured two tablespoons of the marinade over and it was just fantastic. I must admit that I had a really good stir fry too, with pak choy, bok choy, asparagus, chillis and peanut and shallot roots. I am really tempted to freeze the left over marinade so that next time I am having chicken I can just pop it in the bowl and leave them to defrost together, so marinading the uncooked chicken all day. I can’t sing the praises of the new favourite enough. Reviewed for Phototag 2008
