OK, that name sound odd, but I assure you that I am not putting

soy is aged longer than standards soy sauce with 
molasses
added at the end of processing which makes it almost black in color.
It's available in most Asian markets but may be hard to find in your
local grocery store.
The reason why I love this dish is because it's so easy to make after work and the chicken always comes out real tender.

I usually use simple buttered green beans because I love them so much. It could be equally as good with some spinach, baby bok-choy or even matchstick carrots. The recipe below is good for 4-6 people. You can easily cut this in half if you want less.
