Chicken White Meat Fried With Shallots & Ginger

Chicken White Meat Fried With Shallots & Ginger

 

 Surprise! surprise! a new dish is created

SK bought three chicken carcasses with the intention of making chicken stock. But then he noticed that the carcasses still have got a substantial amount of white meat left on them. Not wanting to be wasteful, he cut out  much of the white meat into cubes and try to come out with a new dish. When it comes to eating chicken, not many people like the white meat, as it is wooden and dry, unlike the wings and thighs. So, a way was figured out to cook it and turn it into a great tasting dish. Hope you like it.
