There’s a widespread notion that Bengali women love their Chinese food. Now I am not one to give fuel to conjectures like these, but you know what, I think people are on to something with Bengali women and Chinese food! Not only am I an avid Chinese food fanatic, even my mom and grand-mom are sticklers for Chinese! My husband would vouch for this, that of five dine-outs that we have, two or three (depending on how fed up he is with Chinese in that month) end up being oriental cuisines.

In fact, ever since I was a kid, I remember my mother cooking up classic Chinese dishes for me. I even remember an
incident when I was down with jaundice, and was craving for anything Chinese. My mom, being a Mom, decided to take matters in her own ‘chef hands’, and whipped up a very basic Chinese noodle soup, with only salt and pepper, to soothe my ailing liver. I love you Mom!

So, Honey soy chicken – as the name suggests has 3 main ingredients honey, soy and chicken with each adding it’s own unique character to the dish. This recipe of Honey soy chicken is so simple that you can whip it up any time and in bigger batches too! I love recipes which have no/very less chopping and now that I think probably that’s one of the main reasons why I keep making this one so often! Imagine coming back home tired from work and hungry, surely chopping is the last thing on your mind! All you need to do to make this is to mix it, marinate it and then fry it. Yes it’s that simple! The key here, however, is how well you are cooking your chicken. The cooking time should be long enough for the chicken to cook well in the juices and stay tender but not too long enough for the chicken to become hard or the soy and honey marinade to dry up.

Keeping the spirit of my relentless love for oriental cuisines in mind, here’s the recipe for Honey soy chicken. Do let me know if this was useful to you. All I can tell you is, my husband, who hated Chinese food before he met me, is ‘converted’ now!

You can have it with a portion of salad or plain rice or can even slice it and add it as a filling to your tacos or summer rolls. Do try this recipe of Honey soy chicken and let me know how it turned out 🙂

    I think what you said was actually very reasonable. However, what
    about this? what if you typed a catchier post title? I am not suggesting your information is not solid,
    but suppose you added a headline that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean Honey Soy Chicken – Delish Studio is kinda boring.
    You should look at Yahoo’s front page and see how they create post titles to grab viewers to open the links.

    You might add a video or a related pic or two to get readers interested about what you’ve
    got to say. Just my opinion, it would make your posts a little bit more interesting. http://hydroxychloroquined.online/

    Undeniably imagine that that you stated. Your favourite reason seemed to
    be at the net the easiest thing to take note of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed at the same time as other folks consider concerns that they plainly don’t understand about.
    You managed to hit the nail upon the top as neatly as outlined out the whole thing with no need
    side-effects , other people can take a signal.
    Will likely be back to get more. Thank you https://tadalafili.com/

    Does anyone know what happened to Dimepiece LA celebrity streetwear brand? I cannot proceed to the checkout on Dimepiecela site. I have read in GQ that they were acquired by a UK-based hedge fund in excess of $50 m. I have just bought the Dimepiece Open Up Laptop Sleeve from Ebay and absolutely love it xox
