Ingredients (serves 4)- 3 pcs Chicken Thigh (cut into small pieces)
- 2 Potatoes (cut into small chunks)
- Garlic & Ginger (minced)

Sauce
- 1-2 tsp Salted Bean Paste/Sauce [taucu 豆酱] (may also use chili bean paste 辡豆瓣酱 for spicy version)
- 1 tsp Dark Soy Sauce
- Sugar

Marinate for chicken- Light Soy Sauce, Sugar, Sesame Oil, Chinese Cooking Wine

Steps
1. Marinate chicken for at least 30 mins.

2. Mash bean paste briefly in a small bowl using the back of a spoon, set aside.

3. Heat wok with oil, fry garlic and ginger till fragrant. With high flame, add chicken and stir for a few minutes before adding potatoes. Keep stirring.

4. Add mashed bean paste and mix well. Stir till almost cooked, add water to cover just above ingredients. Add dark soy sauce and sugar.
