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!!

Ondeh-Ondeh in 3 flavour (椰丝球)

Today made a popular dessert in Malaysia, “Ondeh Ondeh”, a type of Nyonya recipe. It is also called “Buah Melaka” because it looks like the fruit of the Malacca tree. The procedure of making is easy. The flavoured glutinous rice balls have grated fresh coconut on the outside and melting Gula Melaka, or palm sugar, inside. The white, milky coconut shreds and little balls of various colours appear fresh and natural. and has a charming appearance. The glutinous rice balls, soft glutinous and chewy are determined by the amount of water and cooking time. The softer the rice balls, the more water and more time it boiled. We like our coconut shreds to be moist and crisp, the melted Gula Melaka to be rich and flavorful, and the texture to be somewhat mushy and sticky. It seems like the nostalgic flavour of my childhood is returning. In addition to the traditional pandan flavour, I have included instructions for making it with sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Of all the flavours of "ondeh...

Half a year has flown by in the blink of an eye, and it's almost Mid-Autumn Festival. It is fall in October this year. I've tried quite a few of jelly mooncakes last year. So, this year I am going to share some of jelly mooncakes that I love. Making jelly mooncakes isn't difficult, and I'm always eagerly anticipating the finished product, because there are always so many surprises when I cut into it. I got the inspiration from an Indonesian dessert “lumut” pudding. Puding Lumut or “moss pudding is a type of jelly or jelly pudding originating from Indonesia, make with a mixture of agar-agar powder, eggs, coconut milk and sugar which is cooked until it forms a moss like mass. Today I am going to transform it into a mooncake.   Other than the beautiful moss from cooking and stirring the mixture. The white layer part that looks like shredded coconut which is actually made from the mixture of agar powder, fresh coconut water and coconut milk. Grate it after it is set...

Braised Pork Belly Char Siu on Stove

  Grilling char Siu is time-consuming? Yes, indeed!! The marinating and cooking steps involved in grilling char Siu might take a lot of time.   In order to allow the flavors to seep into the meat, the traditional process involves marinating the pork for a few hours, often overnight.   Additionally, grilling might take some time, particularly if you want that distinctive char. And also create a crispy surface and smoky flavor. You might say can make char siu, or Chinese BBQ pork with oven baking, or air frying. Oven baking produces an excellent crust and a balance of juiciness. Air fryer is the quickest way to produce a crispy outside and a soft within, although it might not cook as uniformly as oven baking. Today I am sharing a super easy stove top version. You even get a lovely sauce to go with it, and the results are just incredible. It lacks charred or roasted flavor of charcoal because it is cooked entirely on the hob.   Trust me, this method is definitely ...
