Uptown Chicken Chop with black pepper sauce

Assalammualaikum and Hi to all...

Feeling a little chill today here in Wollongong  (Where I' call home for the past 2 years).. Suddenly missing the sunshine we usually hate in Msia..(30 degree dah rasa paneih @_@..)..kat sini almost 40 degree kalu masa summer...Anyway, missing all the good food we have in Malaysia and every time we were home for holiday Uptown damansara is a must place to go as they have my hubby favourite chicken chop with superb black pepper and mushroom sauce! 

Today let me share with you my own version after so many times trial and error.. finally we got the almost similar taste of uptown chicken chop and black pepper sauce..(as what my hubby and friends claim la..not me ye..hehehe..shy2 cat). So lets get cooking....

Black peper sauce recipe: 

2 tbsp @ sudu besar gravy powder (traditional) – mixed with 1 cup of water

4 tbsp black pepper@Lada hitam (biji – tumbuk/blend kasar) 

1/2 tsp fine ground black pepper @Serbuk lada hitam – if you like spicy-optional

2 tbsp cornflour @ tepung jagung  – mixed with water

1 tbsp dark soy sauce

Steps:

1. Mixed all (except cornflour mixture) in one pot with slow heat and stir regularly as the gravy will thicken and burn easily.

2. after 1/2 hour, mixed cornflour mixture and adjust the taste with salt and a pinch of sugar.

Tips:

-Gravy powder is salty so do not add salt in the 1st place...

-if you can't find gravy powder, you can used "Kiub ayam/stok ayam" 2 cube and for more flavour, can add–  onion, carrot,celery.

-adjust the black paper taste using ground black pepper, do not used serbuk lada hitam as its tooo spicy!

This is gravy powder: Malaysian can get this from cold storage! 

Chicken– can grill/pan fry/deep fry

2-3 Thigh without bone (depend on how many people eat it)

1 cup of Bread crump

2 tsp of Mixed herbs (takde pun takpe)

2 eggs-beat 

Steps:

1. flatten the chicken thigh using heavy tool such as you roller pin (or lesung batu hehehe) a good way to release tension!

2.Deep them into eggs mixture and lightly crumbed with bread crumb.

3. Then you can deep fry them until crispy. 

4. If you don't like crumbed you can just grill it but not too long, the meat will dry and not juicy.
