Recipe makes for 3-4 Servings

1 1/2 lb chicken 

1/2 pint chicken stock

2 slices ginger, crushed

1 spring onion, crushed

1 tsp sugar

2 tsp salt

1/8 tsp ground white pepper

3 tbsp rose liqueur

3 tbsp shoaling wine (dry sherry, alternately)

cilantro leaves to garnish

sesame oil to garnish


Directions:

Bring a pan of water to boil. The water should be deep enough to cover the chicken. Place the chicken in the water and return to the boil, turn down the heat and poach for 25-30 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the water and drain. Leave to cool. Heat the chicken stock gently; add the crushed ginger, spring onion, sugar, salt and white pepper. The stock should taste slightly salty. Add more stock if too salty and leave to infuse for 10-15 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and arrange on a plate. Place a bowl over the chicken then invert it into the bowl. Pour the warm stock over, using a sieved to remove the bits of crushed ginger and onion. Finally add the two wines and cool. Cover and place in the fridge overnight to marinate.


To serve, drain off the marinade, if not set, and turn out onto a plate. Garnish with cilantro and a drizzle of sesame oil.
