Malaysia Ma La Chicken


This recipe was taken from centuries old cooking techniques and when possible applied modern cooking methods and/or ingredients.  It uses Asian cooking styles, Asian Spices, Asian Sauces and Asian Ingredients.  The style of cooking may have a slight alteration while still maintaining the dish's overall purpose.  In this blog we touch on recipes that may be predominant for the Chinese Cuisines.  We will also share recipes based upon country, or regions such as: Burma, Cambodia, Indian, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Tibet and Vietnam.  Some cuisines are considered South Asian, South East Asian dishes, Central Asian and/or Middle Eastern and may not be strictly connected to a specific country or culture.



Recipe makes for 4-6 Servings


1 1/2 lbs boneless chicken thighs

1/2 cup cornstarch ( as needed)

oil ( as needed)

6 dried hot Thai red chili peppers ( 6 to 8)

12 ounces white mushrooms, quartered

1 onion, chopped ( or several scallions)

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 tablespoons szechuan hot bean sauce

1 teaspoon white pepper

1 teaspoon ground szechuan peppercorns

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)


Directions:


1. Cut chicken into small dice and dredge in cornstarch. Shake off excess. Heat enough oil in a wok or deep skillet to fry chicken until it is cooked through. Drain excess oil.

2. Heat 1-2 tbs oil in wok and add chiles, cooking just for a moment,.
then add mushrooms and onions, cooking until onions are softened. Add cooked chicken back to pan.

3. Mix the chicken broth with soy sauce, hot bean paste, cayenne pepper,.
white pepper and schezuan peppercorns powder along with 1 tablespoons.
cornstarch and add to wok, stir-frying briefly until sauce thickens.

4. If sauce thickens too much, just add a little water but the sauce should be fairly dry.

*You can also stir-fry the chicken instead of frying it, but the result.
will not be quite the same, although it is a healthier option!
