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.

Nyonya Sticky Rice Dumplings

This is my version of Nyonya Zongzi. The taste is very different from salty meat Zongzi. When the first time I taste it, it is incredibly tasty, it’s slightly spicy but not too sweet. It has a strong spice flavor due to the fact that of using whole coriander and white peppercorns which were toasted and grinded into powder form. The biggest difference between the regular Zongzi and Nyonya Zongzi is in the filling -- one’s savory while the other's sweet. The regular salty Zongzi normally includes pork belly in a big piece, mushrooms, dried shrimp, chestnuts and salted duck eggs. And include a lit bit of five spice powder for some fragrance. The Nyonya Zongzi includes braised minced pork, dried shrimps, candied winter melon, and the strong spice from the whole grinded coriander seeds and white peppercorns is the key to the greatest flavor. And it comes with a blend of sweet and savory, with aromatic spice notes and a hint of sweetness. The blue and off-white appearance with a ...

Easy Apple Tart With Almond Cream

This apple tarts made with frangipane or almond cream, and apples. It’s delicate, beautiful, and most importantly, delicious. The combination of apples, almonds, and cinnamon creates a warm and delightful dessert. Excellent while still warm from the oven, at room temperature, or even cold. The tart itself is buttery and crunchy. It is simple to make, and you don’t need a food processor or hand mixer. The key is that the butter is COLD. I cut it into small cubes and keep it in a freezer for 10 minutes which is much simpler to incorporate into the flour mixture. The almond cream or Frangipane is simple to prepare, and you can make it a day ahead with only a few ingredients. Spread the almond cream over the prebaked pie crust which adds a wonderful flavor, but it also acts as a shield to prevent the apple juices from penetrating into the crust. I am using a 24cm round and removable pie try or tart pan for making this apple tart. It is one of the staple pieces of equipment in my kitc...

Crispy Fried Noodles Meatballs With Sweet Chili Sauce

I don’t want to blow my own horn, but I’m determined to do everything I can to make you want to try these meatballs. These meatballs are coated with SWEET CHILLI LIME SAUCE. The sweet chili paste is the major component of making the sauce. Apart from using this paste to make the sauce for the meatballs. You can also use it for other dishes like stir-fries with French beans, spread over cucumber or bread, or sometimes use it to pair with fried noodles. The paste itself is sweet with some spiciness. I am using two types of dried chilies to make the paste, one type is mild, and the type is extremely hot dried chilies. Bear in mind that the smaller they are, the hotter they are. My meatballs contain glass noodles inside and outside of them. If you're not familiar with the idea of adding noodles to meatballs, let me convince you as to why it's a great idea. The noodles get crispy outside after frying.   So, you don’t need to mess up with panko or any other breading. Glass nood...
