Chicken Kare Kare Recipe by Robert Gonzal
Cooking Instructions 1 hr 1 Add a splash of veg oil to a large wok or medium pot (I prefer the wok, for its heat distribution) on medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and sear them until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate. 2 If needed (probably not), refresh the oil in the wok or pot, then add the choy mue. Be careful because it will splatter. Fry for about 2 or 3 minutes until they've wilted down, then remove them to a serving dish (not the same plate as the chicken). 3 Repeat the above step for the eggplant. Fry them until they're caramelized but not so far that they turn limp and mushy. This will take about 5 or 6 minutes. Remove them to the same dish as the choy mue. 4 Add the onion and garlic to the wok. Fry just until the onions are translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cumin and cayenne and fry another minute, then turn on your stove vent and add the fish sauce. Return the chicken to the pot, skin-side up, then add just enough stock to submerge everything. Throw in the bay leaves and bring to a simmer. Turn the heat down to medium and simmer until the sauce is reduced by half, which will take about 30 minutes. 5 Add the bamboo shoots to the pot and stir in the peanut butter. Simmer a final 5 minutes. The sauce should be thick and rich by this point. Remove the bay leaves and check the seasoning, then serve atop the choy mue and eggplant. Alternatively, you can add the choy and eggplant to the wok, but you'll run the risk of the eggplant disintegrating. 1 Add a splash of veg oil to a large wok or medium pot (I prefer the wok, for its heat distribution) on medium-high heat.
