Chi Kut Teh




It's not the first time I cook this kind of herbal soup, just that I used chicken this time. Frankly, bah kut teh is way more tasty than chi kut teh. Chicken is just not so perfect with these herbs. What to do? In Kuala Terengganu, it's hard to find pork, their pasar is all HALAL. Furthermore, today is kind of like Sunday, many shops were not opening. As usual, just bought a sachet of the bah kut teh pre-mixed, dumped everything into a pile of water then BOILED! The hardest part is the seasoning in the final step. I always use oyster sauce, soy sauce and black soy sauce for this part. Oyster sauce is the main one of course, for people like Vincent who are high risk in hypertension, soy sauce will satisfy his salty taste bud and lastly we know bah kut teh looks dark, so we need black soy sauce for this purpose.
