Notes

For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in soy sauce, vinegar, and minced garlic for at least 30 minutes before cooking. You can also add potatoes or hard-boiled eggs to the dish for extra substance. Keep an eye on the sauce consistency, and if it reduces too much, feel free to add a bit more water.
