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.

Dong Po Rou （东坡肉）

Dong Po Rou （东坡肉） – wine braised pork belly. It’s rich and savoury, tender that melts into your mouth. Traditionally, the pork belly is pan-fried before being braised or stewed for one to one and a half hours on low heat. Some of the recipes even call for steaming for an additional half an hour after stewing. It is very time-consuming. But as you are aware, I enjoy making recipes simpler without compromising the taste. You, too, I'm sure. Therefore, I skipped the pan-frying step and proceeded directly to braising the pork after blanching it, and then continued to cook with a pressure cooker. Don't worry; the dish's flavour remains unaffected. I'm hoping this simplified method may come in handy for your regular cooking. Trim off the edges of the pork and cut it into 3x3 cubes. Tie cooking twine around each cube. This will assist the cubes in keeping their form while cooking. If the pork that you bought is at the mid portion of the belly is ideal, there is a nice bala...

Canned braised pork belly (罐头扣肉）

  A must-have dish for the Lunar New Year is steamed braised pork ( 扣肉 ). Some people enjoy making braised pork with yam, while others prefer to use preserved veggies. The key to making braised pork is to boil the meat first, then deep-fry it, and finally steam it. The sauces are the key to enhancing the flavour of the braised pork with either yam or preserved veggies. Of course, choosing pork that is half-fat and lean pork belly tastes the best is also crucial.   You can choose how thinly you want the pork slices. I sliced my pork to a thinness of 10 to 15 mm thinness.  Another crucial tip is to just use wine and no water when preparing the braised pork. I'm using Shaoxing wine, and it's been proven that the more wine you use, the tastier and more fragrant the meat will be and that the meat will remain fragrant after stewing. As I mentioned, this braised pork needs to boil first, then be deep-fried.  For those who find frying meat is very troublesome , you can w...

Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert (白果腐竹薏米糖水)

Do you miss this delicacy of Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert? When did you most recently enjoy or make it? Ginkgo, commonly known as ginkgo. It is very popular when used to cook bean curd sheets. I went to a dessert house two days ago. The waitress was serving this dessert to a young lady who was sitting next to me. I overheard that lady comment about that dessert is different from other dessert houses. So, I give it a go. I am not sure how it was different from other dessert houses. But it is different from what I had before. It is creamy, smooth, and rich in flavour. So, I am going to copycat this, and my family loves it so much. Especially youngsters who do not like any small chunks to chew on with liquid dessert. This dessert can be cooked on the stove or pressure cooker. There's a catch, though: Yuba sheets or bean curd sheet, also known as Fu Chuk, come in a variety of forms.   If you opt for making this dessert over a stove, need to choose the kind that disso...
