Stew whole chicken with mixed pickle ginger

 


Have you ever tried this rice vinegar and cane sugar-pickled mixed ginger in a jar?  Let me share with you how to stew a whole chicken in these assorted pickles ginger.

The taste is sweet and sour. It’s an appetizing dish. It contains buckwheat, red pepper, cucumber, red carrot, turnip, white melon, papaya, and ginger. This assortment of pickled gingers will take your cuisine to the next level, making it delicious and full of goodness. 


I learned about this dish from my mother-in-law. In a way, this is one of the specialties of Kota Belud, the hometown of my husband. It only needs one pot to prepare. Simply combine the chicken with the pickled ginger in a pot, add enough water to cover, and boil until the chicken is cooked through. How simple was that? To give the chicken a lovely hue for putting on the table, the chicken must be lightly fried, which is one of the essential processes. Don't throw away the extra gravy. The soup has all the essence. The next day, you can use it to stew eggs. It is quite delicious. But today I'll make an egg and chicken stew.

This pickled ginger chicken stew is incredibly delicious, simple to make, and family friendly. You will be amazed if you have not tasted it.

 

INGREDIENTS

1 whole chicken (about 1.4kg)

1 can assorted pickle gingers (260g)

15 full boiled eggs

3 whole head garlic

2 tbsp light soy sauce

2 tbsp dark soy sauce

3 tbsp brown sugar

Some cooking oil

1 liter of water

 

Seasoning

2 tbsp light soy sauce

2 tbsp dark soy sauce

 


METHODS

1. Slightly coated the whole chicken with light soy sauce and dark soy sauce.

2. Heat up some cooking oil in a deep bottom wok, slightly fry the chicken until golden brown in colour, about 2 -3 minutes. Cover with the lid to avoid oil splattering. Removed and set it aside for later use.

3. Make a bed on the bottom of a wok with the cut garlic, place the whole fried chicken on top of the cut garlic. So, the bottom half of the chicken tends to not be burnt. Pour in the water and add in the brown sugar together with the seasoning. Let it stew for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Halfway through, add in the fully boiled egg, let it continue to stew with the chicken until the chicken is soft and tender.  Tastes and adjust seasoning.

4.  Place the chicken and the eggs in a glass casserole and serve with hot steamed rice together with the gravy. ENJOY!!

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...

Salted Egg Yolks Fried Wings

  There are some leftover salted egg yolks after the Dragon Boat Festival. Salted egg yolk fried wings straight pop into my mind. Egg yolk chicken wings are really flavoring explosions, highly praised for its unique flavor, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and tempting with their salty and fragrant taste. Other than the flavor that driving everyone’s insane. The key to this dish is to double fry the chicken wings until they are golden and crispy before coating them with a rich sauce of salted egg yolk and season them to make every bite full of rich taste and irresistible flavor. Since the fried chicken is mixed with salted egg yolks and melted butter, I must admit that this is a really greasy dish.   Eat this sparingly, then. I cut and divide my wings into mid wings and drummets. And I am going to give a shallow cut on them for better penetration during the marinating. Just oyster sauce, soy sauce and white pepper make up the basic marinade for the chicke...

Steamed Chicken With Cordyceps Flowers and Shitake Mushrooms (虫草花香菇蒸鸡)

Steam chicken is the easiest way of cooking with health benefits, and delicious flavor. Just simply marinate the bite sized pieces of chicken for minutes to obtain a basic flavor then steam for 20 to 25 minutes. That’s so simple. My husband loves steam food. This is due to the fact that steaming food is nutrient preservation, calorie and fat reduction. Additionally, it keeps the natural flavor to the maximum. Normally, I will add mushrooms, lily blossoms and black fungus for additional texture. For this recipe, I replace the lily blossoms with cordyceps flowers. It is a type of orange-yellow grass and it’s good for nourishing the lungs and kidneys, protecting the liver, nourishing skin and beauty, and improving immunity. It is extremely delicious when used to make soup or steam dishes! You don’t have to add water to the chicken, the marinade, chicken, and mushrooms release a broth-like mix of fluids that tastes amazing over rice. Are you drooling? This is an easy and delicious ...
