This is a simple meal enjoyed by all.....

- 3 star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 inch ginger - bruised
- chinese mushroom - washed and soaked (do not discard the soaking water)
- 2 firm beancurd
- 4 hard boiled egg
- seasoning - agak-agak.... thick soy sauce (kicap manis), light soy sauce, sugar and a little bit oyster sauce.
Saute star anise, cinnamon and ginger for a few minutes. Add in chicken. Stir for a few minutes. Add the seasoning and 1 cup of water. Bring to boil and add chinese mushroom, hard boil eggs then lower the heat and leave to simmer for 1/2 hour.....Finally add the firm beancurd. Season with salt and sugar.. The final taste should have a tinge sweetness.
