Yen Can Cook ~ Stir Fried Chicken with Salted Fish

For those who do a low-carb diet like me, this dish is extremely dangerous as it can easily beguile you into forgetting your diet. The gravy of the dish with robust taste of the salted fish is savoury enough to go with multiple bowls of rice! o(≧◇≦)o
