Black Pepper Chicken





Black Pepper Chicken is a very popular dish here in Singapore. When we first came here, we would always order in hawker stalls. Since my children love it, I thought of prepping our own at home. I have two recipes actually, the first one is more of  the Asian type with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce and of course with lots of black pepper..so its peppery hot. The second one is done with plum sauce with lots of cracked black pepper. I didnt mention the onions yet, yes! there must be lots of onion rings. Black peppered sauce is readily available here, be it in a sachet, jar or bottle- but you know me I would rather make my own. Today I will be sharing with you my version with Plum Sauce.
