A cheap, and effective dish you can add to your recipe arsenal

I personally love this recipe because it’s all about planning. The more you do in advance, the more flavorful the chicken will be.

This time, I want to go back to my roots as a broke culinary student and make this recipe as cheap but effective as possible so everyone (and I mean everyone can do this) regardless of how tight their budget can execute it with ease.

Using just simple ingredients can transform into a simple but versatile dish in your arsenal. The best part of this soup is that you can make this in bulk and freeze it in a container. It can last for 3 months. Talk about efficient meal planning.

Many Chinese families know this dish because it’s a simple, cheap, yet delicious comfort food.

Cooking the meat first helps make it more juicy while locking in all the seasonings. Don’t worry about the fond on the pan’s bottom because we’re using that to cook the vegetables. All the flavor is in that one pan so take advantage of it. 

Unlike all recipes here which are generally easier to make, this is one of the more challenging ones to produce. It all takes practice

Pair this with some mashed potatoes and some chicken and you get yourself a meal.

This is a one-pot wonder that is guaranteed to taste good. Like every other recipe I make here, I try to keep it as flexible as possible so that you can change this dish to your liking.

So simple, yet so delicious. This is my get-out-of-jail-free card for most gatherings.
