SHREDDED CHICKEN WITH SESAME SAUCE

This is one of the Chinese dishes which I chose to prepare from this month’s selected cookbook for Cookbook Countdown Event #19.

It is an easy and simple dish to prepare.  The shredded chicken meat is tender and sweet.  The sauce is easy to prepare, fragrant and tasty spread over the shredded meat.

This is a lovely chicken dish.

Recipe adapted from Chinese Cuisine Cookbook

Ingredients

1 large deboned chicken whole leg

½ tbsp each chopped ginger, garlic and  spring onions

½ tbsp hot chilli oil

Blended Sauce

1-2 tbsp toasted white sesame seeds

1 tbsp each light soy sauce and black vinegar

1 tsp each sugar and sesame seed oil

1. Bring a pot of water to boil, add in chicken whole leg to cook. Bring to boil again, then off heat.  Leave chicken whole leg to steep for 5-10 minutes until cooked through.  Remove to cool before shredding.
2. Meanwhile, put sauce ingredients in a blender to blend until fine and thick.  Mix with chopped garlic and ginger.
3. Arrange shredded chicken on serving platter, spread sauce on top, drizzle hot pepper oil and garnish with spring onions.
4. Serve.
