I love to cook this dish for my family because it is healthy and delicious. This is one of my home cook dishes that I think is also one of yours. I think this dish is pretty common in a household that cook every day. The only different is I used skinless and boneless chicken breast instead of the whole cut out chicken. Sharing with you my way of cooking this dish.
Ingredients:
1 skinless and boneless chicken breast, sliced and marinated with soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, white pepper and cornstarch.
4 dried bean curd sticks, soaked in warm water until slightly soften, cut into 2 inches length.
1 star anise2 Tbsp. Light soy sauce
1 Tbsp. Dark soy sauce1 1/2 cup Water
1 tsp. brown cane sugar (or brown sugar)Method:
1. Heat a saucepan with some oil. Fry chicken until half cooked. Add in star anise. Fry for a little while. Add in bean curd sticks and water.
2. Add in light and dark soy sauce. Let it boil and turn the heat to low, covered and let it simmer for an hour or until the bean curd sticks are completely soften.
3. Add in the cane sugar and give it a stir. Do a taste test to see whether you need to add more salt or sugar. Serve hot.
We really enjoy this dish and I hope you like it too.

Ooo... tau kee. My grandma used to cook this with pork instead. It actually is more like a chap chye dish. She added mock abalone too and we used to fight for those. Just looking at this dish brings back memories or childhood. :) Thanks for the memories.
Thanks Zoe. :)

Hi
I have some star anise powder in my pantry, how much of the powder will be a rough estimate of 1 star anise? I usually just agar agar pour, sometimes the taste is too strong.
Thanks

NG,
Powder form is more concentrated so I think perhaps 1/8 tsp. for 1 star anise. If you agar2 and think it's too strong, next time agar2 less.
Great combination of flavours however I have to admit that the instructions did not work for me. Even after a much shorter cooking time the chicken was completely dried out. Unfortunately the bean curd was still tough. So next time I will soak the bean curd and cook much much shorter. But that said - thank you so much for the insipration!
