Have had confinement food on my mind this week because of a friend. Have cooked some simple dishes, so am sharing the recipes here.
Red Wine Chicken - it's simpler than I thought.
Marinate Chicken pieces with 2 TBS Fermented Rice Paste (Red) and 1 TBS Rice Wine.
Soak Wood Fungus (Mok Yee - I didn't use for this batch in the above photos)
A few Chinese Mushrooms (soaked), optional.
Leave for 30 minutes.
Prepare 2 TBS of Old Ginger (cut into thin strips).
Heat pot and put 1 TBS Sesame seed oil.
Fry Ginger strips until fragrant. Add wood fungus to fry.
Then add in the marinated chicken and fry.
Add in another TBS of fermented rice paste.
Put in a bottle of Chicken Essence.
Put in half a cup of Rice Wine or DOM.
When sizzling, add in another 3 cups of hot water.
Stir everything, then leave it to come to a boil, then simmer for awhile.
While waiting, use another pot to boil the mee sua, drain and dish out in a bowl. Pour the Chicken Rice Wine Soup over the Mee Sua.
Garnish with Spring Onions.

And if you prefer not to have Reddish Wine Soup for your meal, here's another Chicken Wine Recipe:
Heat saucepan and put 2 TBS Sesame Oil.
Fry 2 TBS Ginger Strips until fragrant and put in Wood Fungus(soaked).
Put in Chicken and stir fry until half cooked.
Pour in 3 Cups Hot Water into the saucepan and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
Bring it to boil and add in Mee Sua.
Then put in the 2TBS DOM/Rice Wine and stir.

And for all the ginger you wish to use, here's tip on how to have them in strips:
Use a potato-peeler to "peel" the ginger into very thin slices. Then use a pair of kitchen scissors to cut these thin slices into strips. Easy, eh? And they are so fun to fry into crispy strips!
