In western way, you can eat with mash potato and mix vegetable. It's very simple, you can pre-cook it in advance and just oven it for 10 minutes when you want to eat.

Ingredients:
- 8 chicken drumstick
- 1/2 cup oyster sauce
- 1/4 cup sweet soy sauce
- 1/4 onion sliced
- 2 table spoon minced garlic

How to:
stir fry garlic and onion than add drumstick, oyster sauce and sweet soy sauce. mix it for a while than add water. boil it until it almost dry (for drumstick it might take longer to cook so that it well done). after that, put it in oven for 10 minutes. tadah~ done. you may splash some lime juice on it too if you like.

P.S. It's easy to make, you can prepare it in advance and you just put it in oven when you are ready to eat.
