Braised Chicken with Edamame

Braised Chicken with Edamame

This savory Chicken and Broad Bean Stew is a comforting, flavor-packed dish that combines tender chicken with hearty broad beans in a rich, aromatic broth. The recipe starts with stir-frying chicken in hot oil with fragrant ginger, garlic, and dried red chili peppers, infusing the meat with a deep, spicy aroma. A splash of soy sauce and cooking wine enhances the umami richness before simmering the chicken in water to create a succulent base. Broad beans are added next, absorbing the savory flavors while retaining their firm texture—just be sure to cook them a bit longer to mellow out any beany taste. Finished with a touch of chicken bouillon powder, this stew is a perfect balance of heat, depth, and freshness. Ideal for a cozy family meal, this dish brings together simple ingredients for a truly satisfying and delicious experience.
