Cooking StepsHow to cook Braised Chicken with Mushrooms and Potatoes step by step

Step 1 Detail

Cut vegetables into chunks. Prepare scallions, ginger, and garlic. Mix the sauce (see ingredient list).
Step 2 Detail

Marinate the chicken pieces with the marinade (see ingredient list) for at least 30 minutes — the longer, the more flavorful!
Step 3 Detail

Heat a small amount of oil in a wok. Add 5–6 pieces of rock sugar and cook until fully melted, bubbling, and caramelized to a deep amber color. Add the marinated chicken pieces.
Step 4 Detail

Stir-fry quickly, then add scallions, ginger, garlic, and Sichuan peppercorns. Toss until fragrant, then add the mushrooms and stir-fry briefly.
Step 5 Detail

Pour in the sauce and add enough water or broth to just cover the chicken. Transfer everything to a clay pot (or regular pot), bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low and simmer.
Step 6 Detail

After simmering for about 15 minutes, add the potatoes and continue simmering.
Step 7 Detail

After another 15 minutes, add the bell peppers, then turn up the heat to reduce the sauce until thickened.
Step 8 Detail

Serve over steamed rice — absolutely delicious!
