Ginger Chicken With Rice Wine - The Cure For Almost Everything 黄酒薑雞

I realised we hadn't cooked anything Chinese for a while and hadn't had any rice for more than a week. Nursing a hangover, going all the way to Victoria Street seemed out of the question, but this is always a dish that will please everyone at home and does not require a bus load of ingredients. I picked up everything I needed from the supermarket and spent the rest of the day reading in the sun :)

P.S I also found some chokoes which I turned into a beautiful side dish.
