3 big chicken thighs (about 750g), chopped

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1.5 tbsp light soy sauce

100ml water and more

rice 220g, rinsed

Steps -

1. Heat up wok with sesame oil. Add the sliced ginger in and stir fry until fragrant.

3. Add the rinsed rice in and mix well. 

4. Scoop everything over to a saucepot and alittle bit more water (just enough to cook the rice). Mix well.

Honey Butter Chips by Angela Seah Thulin

Honey Butter Chips that was launched in Korea in August 2014 has been a very popular snack and was even sold out for months. I got to try this only recently, in August 2016, during my Singapore home trip!

Trying was not enough! Since I love honey butter chips so much, I might as well make them myself. My husband especially bought me a potato slicer for this!

Crazy over the taste, I also made honey butter chicken wings to satisfy my cravings, hoping to get that same taste using chicken as well. Honey Butter Chicken Wings

Ingredients -

330g potatoes, sliced
50g salted butter

1/2 tbsp sugar

3. In a wok, melt the butter, add the honey and sugar and mix well. Off heat. Add all the crispy chips in, toss gently and ensure evenly coated.
