Enjoy shredded chicken in three ways




No matter if you're searching for a quick dinner or a novel way to prepare lunch or dinner. You're covered with these quick and tasty shredded chicken recipes.

Shredded chicken is a dish that uses no waste and is very convenient. Shredded chicken was originally a Sichuan -style cold dish. The idea behind this recipe is to combine the cooked, shredded chicken with the sauce. Or, to put it another way, the sauce is what really makes the shredded chicken. In the beginning, salt, monosodium glutamate, sesame oil, and ginger powder were the only ingredients needed for seasoning. Over time, many different types of sauce have been developed.

Along with showing you how to prepare this delicious, ready-to-eat shredded chicken. Additionally, I'm showing two ways to wrap this shredded chicken. Flatbread is the first, whereas rice wrappers are the second. It will feel like holding a sandwich with filling to you. As an alternative, you may roll it up like a spring roll and eat it with the sauce of your choice.

I am so happy to be sharing this easy lunch or dinner recipe with you. Your family will like them. You can enjoy one dish in three ways. Either the shredded chicken or the chicken wraps come together so quickly and have the perfect flavours.

Although this is a very simple recipe, I know you will appreciate having a quick meal option, especially during hectic weeknight dinnertimes. This meal is ideal for a family on the go.

 

 

INGREDIENTS

2-piece flatbread

6 pieces rice wraps

3 chicken thighs

1 head of garlic, minced.

20g fresh ginger, minced.

2-3 bird eye chilies, diced

1 stalk coriander stem, cut into pieces.

1 stalk spring onion, white part, cut into pieces.

2 tbsp oyster sauce.

2 tsp light soya sauce

1 tsp sugar

50ml cooking oil

 

Dipping sauce (spring rolls)

2 bird eye chilies

2 cloves garlic

3 tbsp lime juice

1 ½ tbsp light soy sauce

1 tbsp honey

1 stem of cilantro (stems and leaves)

 



METHODS

1. Place the chicken thighs, one stalk of spring onion, the ginger slices, and a tablespoon of cooking wine in a pot with just enough water to cover them. Turn to high heat and bring to a boil. Cook the food for another 20 minutes at medium heat with the lid on the pot. To make sure the chicken is cooked through, and the meat is soft and tender, turn off the heat and let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes. To stop the cooking process, remove the chicken and place it in a bowl of icy water. Shredded the chicken into strips.

2. Combine all the ingredients for the garlic paste in a bowl. Heat up some cooking oil in a saucepan until it is smoked and add to the garlic paste.

3. Placed the shredded chicken into a mixing bowl. Pour in the garlic paste to the chicken and toss it well until all the garlic paste is well coated with the chicken.

4. To serve with flatbread, warm the flatbread over medium heat, flipping the sides occasionally. Once it begins to turn brown, remove. One side should be left intact while the other is filled with the filling. Fold the uncovered half over.  Serve.

5. To serve with a rice wrapper, place the wrapper on a silicone sheet or cutting board. To soften the wrapper, simply brush it with warm water. Place the shredded chicken 2 inches from the edge closest to you.  Roll the edge over the filling once, fold the left and right edges of the wrapper towards the center. Roll the wrapper until it reaches its furthest edge.

6. To make the dipping sauce – combine all the ingredients in a food processor or blender, process until smooth. Feel free to add more cilantro if the sauce is too thin.

Sweet Potato Egg Tart

When come to egg tart, everyone might mention about the flaky pastry, filled with a smooth, lightly sweetened egg custard. What about giving it a twist for today? Instead of buttery flaky pastry, we switch to use sweet potatoes, raw oats and glutinous flour to make the tart base. This sweet potato egg tarts are high in fiber and delicious. And it requires no cooking skills. After baking, the oatmeal sweet potato crust is soft with naturally sweet and chewy, paired with smooth egg tart fillings. Oh my god! It smells so good. Every time it’s fresh out of the air fryer, the entire family gathers around, eager to grab a slice. The water content of the tart crust is very important. I am using orange sweet potatoes, which contain a lot of water after steaming. Perhaps yellow and purple sweet potatoes would be easier to shape. You can also use instant oats, which have good water absorption. For this recipe, I use cup cake liner as mold. I baked it with an air fryer to cut down on time...

Fried Taro Puff Dumplings (Woo KOK 芋角)

Taro puff dumplings or Woo Kok ( 芋角 ) are another must-eat snack when you go to a restaurant. The outside is honeycomb-shaped, and the inside is soft and smooth. Even if you go to a restaurant to eat, not every restaurant makes them crispy. And for that reason, I decided to learn how to make this snack. Someone once told me, because of the complicated workmanship, it is difficult to make at home. She advised me not to spend effort on it. If you know me well, I always like to challenge my limits. Today, I will show you how to make them! The fillings of taro dumplings must contain pork, dried shrimps, and mushrooms! The filling can be prepared one day ahead. The dumpling skin is made of taro paste. I am using Areca taro ( 槟榔芋 ). It has a tough, brown exterior with an interior that is white/beige in color with purple flecks. The ideal taro for this recipe will be more mature and starchier. The hardest and most tiresome step of the entire process is frying Woo Kok. A crispy crust w...

Steamed Spareribs With Sand Ginger （沙姜蒸排骨）

Steamed spareribs with sand ginger is a delicious Cantonese dish. The main ingredients are spareribs and sand ginger. Sand ginger, also known as galangal, is a spicy spice that adds a unique flavor to this dish. It is one of four types of galangals, a rhizome in the ginger family. Fresh sand ginger is paler in color on the inside and woodier and coarser in texture than standard ginger. As a result, it is more difficult to peel and grate.  So, I just cleaned it with a tiny brush and chopped it with the skin. Fresh sand ginger might not be available at other places, so they will powder form instead. When dried, the flavor becomes a little less intense. I love how the fresh sand ginger tastes when combined with other spices or ingredients to create the sauce for meat. Apart from the ribs, I also add glass noodles and yuba or dried tofu skin. The ribs, glass noodles and dried tofu skin absorb all the sauce, enhanced by the flavor of sand ginger and oyster sauce. You can use san...
