Indonesian Ginger Chicken

I can’t believe I did not make this sooner…this is such a super yummy and really, really easy dish.    There are only a few ingredients and I have them in stock.   I made this the same day I got the recipe- I have all the ingredients for the marinade, and we had it for dinner the next day.  This dish was suggested by Todd of A Cooking Dad  for the Barefoot Bloggers group;  it’s so delicious, the best part is it’s very easy..

I paired this with rice and sauteed egg noodles (I use pancit canton noodles and yes,we usually have it with rice–that’s a lot of carbs– we grew up on it)  using the sauce from the chicken, I just threw in carrot strips and frozen sweet peas and added a little oyster sauce, I wish I had more veggies, but that’s all I have when I made this, it was delicious nonetheless.   Thanks Ina, for a great recipe and Todd for suggesting it!  🙂

I halved the marinade because I only have half  the quantity of chicken asked for in the recipe which is just perfect since there’s only 4 of us  🙂
