@xiensscran: Chinese steamed chicken with ginger, spring onion + red dates 姜葱红枣蒸鸡 is one of my favourite TCM recipes - perfect for when you wanna make a healthy, low effort yet high reward dish. Also amazing for if you’re ill, have low energy, or if you know a girlie recovering from postpartum or PMS ✨ Let me know if you’d like the recipe xx
RECIPE: Serves 3-4
For seasoning the chicken:
2 bone in chicken thighs
2 bone in chicken drumsticks
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp ground white pepper
1 tbsp cornstarch
For steaming the chicken:
10g ginger
2 spring onions (whites only)
5 jujube dates
For the spring onion ginger oil:
15g ginger
2 spring onions (greens only)
80-100ml vegetable oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp msg
Score the thickest parts of the chicken. Add all seasonings and sauces, and mix well.
Thinly slice the 10g ginger for steaming. Cut the spring onions into three sections, separating the whites from the greens. Keep the whites for steaming and the greens for the oil later.
Wash the jujube dates and slice each one lengthways around the stone.
Place a shallow heatproof bowl upside down in a wok. Pour in enough water to come halfway up it. Cover with the wok lid and bring to the boil.
Place the chicken in the heatproof bowl and top with the ginger, spring onion whites and jujube dates. Carefully place the dish on top of the upside down bowl, cover with a lid and steam on medium-high heat for 25-30 minutes.
While the chicken steams, finely mince the ginger and chop the spring onion greens. Place in a heatproof bowl - add the salt, sugar and MSG, and mix well.
Heat the vegetable oil in a small pan until slightly smoking. Take it off the hob and immediately pour it over the aromatics.
Once the chicken is done, remove from the wok and tear into small pieces once slightly cooled down. Reserve the juices trapped inside the bowl - this is your liquid gold.
Add the liquid gold to the spring onion ginger oil and mix well.
Serve the chicken with rice and the spring onion ginger oil.
