Electric Caldron Cuisine: How to Stew Chicken in Cola?
Posted by Yu Tung, 10.18.2021
My family bought lots of ingredients for barbecue in the Moon Festival; however, it was impossible for us to consume all the meat in the three-day weekend. Therefore, I brought some boneless chicken thighs to the dorm and tried making an original dish from available ingredients in the fridge, especially cola.
You might wonder how cola can be cooked with chicken, and does the dish taste peculiar? It was a big challenge for me to use such an unusual ingredient. In fact, it was more delicious than I thought. Let’s start to learn how to stew chicken in cola!!
Ingredients (for four servings):
200 ml thin salt soy sauce
400 ml cola
1 ginger
2 scallions
675g boneless chicken thighs (cut into small pieces)
Q.S. Korean barbecue sauce
4 eggs
Step 1
Pickle the boneless chicken thighs in q.s. Korean barbecue sauce the day before, and keep them in the fridge. Korean barbecue sauce can make the meat has a rich taste.
(Available in Costco)
Step 2
Whip the eggs in a bowl, but don’t make the eggs thoroughly mixed.
Step 3
Prepare the seasoning. Put soy sauce and cola together.
Step 4
Cut the ginger and scallions into small pieces.
Step 5
Put the chicken, ginger and scallions into the electric caldron.
Step 6
Cover those ingredients with the egg mixture.
Step 7
Simmer for 20-30 minutes. Cola will inflate during heating, so you should stir the sauce to avoid overflowing.
Step 8
Turn off the fire and enjoy your meal.
Cola is a great tenderizer. It can make chicken more tender and juicy. Moreover, if the sauce only includes soy sauce, it may be too salty. Add some cola in it will be sweeter, and this mixed sauce pairs well with rice. This simple cuisine is proper for students to cook in dorms. Most ingredients above are available in supermarkets, and most students have their own electric caldrons.
My roommates ate more than usual due to this scrumptious cooking, and sharing the delicious handmade food with my friends made me proud of my cooking skill. If you really love cooking like me, or you are seeking some simple dishes to cook, Stew Chicken in Cola will be the best choice.
