BLACK PEPPER CHICKEN/ AYAM GORENG LADA HITAM

I love this dish, it always remind me of my confinement days. My late mom used to cook anything with black pepper to heat up the blood circulation. It's simply delicious....simple..yet satisfying. You don't have to be on confinement to eat this. It's so good that you can make it as your normal meal. Chicken, shrimps, squids and crabs are good choices for this black pepper recipe. It's supposed to be dry but if you prefer gravy then you can add some chicken stocks.

Sajian sebegini selalu mengingatkan saya semasa dalam pantang. Lada hitam adalah amalan yang sesuai masa pantang untuk memanaskan badan selepas bersalin. Resipi ini kini bukan lagi menjadi sajian masa pantangmalah dikebanyakan restaurant Cina banyak resipi lada hitam ini. Sesuai untuk ayam, udang, daging, ketam, dan sotong. Membuatnya mudah dan ianya merupakan sajian yang menyelerakan dan sesuai makan bersama nasi panas.
