Soy Sauce Cock
My father got very sentimental when I first made this dish for him. His father, who was originally from China, was apparently a very good cook and organized Chinese banquets in Jamaica, where my father was born. This dish reminded him of the meals Grandpa would make.This is one of 50 recipes in the book, 50 Ways to Eat Cock®: Healthy Chicken Recipes with Balls!
