Soy Sauce Chicken

My mom and baby and I had the Subway Melts for lunch because we had a coupon for them.  For dinner, I made soy sauce chicken tonight. I had leftover onions, carrot and tomato so they were thrown in there. So this was how I cooked it. I first use oil to fry up the minced garlic,  ginger and onion to get the flavour out. Then, I threw in the chicken drum sticks, added some light soy sauce and a teaspoon of dark soy sauce. I added a cup of water and waited until the mixture boiled. Then, I threw in the tomato and carrot and boiled everything for five minutes. I had to flip the drum sticks over at the three minute mark. Finally, I simmered the pot for around 15 minutes and it is ready.

The former benefits our wallets and latter benefits the environment.  So this is how he does it.  He is very organized.  He actually has an inventory list of the staple food in our home and that includes the examples of rice, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, milk and eggs.  He checks the physical inventory at home to see which ones he needs to buy during his weekly grocery shopping trip.  He also checks flyers of his two favorite supermarkets to see what is on sale to determine what groceries to buy.  He only buys groceries that are on sale so he has a list of sale ite...
