Recipe

PRE TIME: 1 hr 10 min

COOKING TIME: 50 min

TOTAL TIME: 2 hr

4 SERVING

Ingredients:

2 lb. Young whole chicken
0.5 tsp. Salt
0.25 cup Shaoxing wine
2 tbsp. Fermented sweet rice (Jiu Niang)
3 oz. Winter bamboo shoots
3 oz. Virginia Ham
1 tsp. Sugar (a little)
2 stalks Green onion
6 Slices Ginger

Directions:

Step 1

Cut the chicken and remove the big bones, using the knife back to pound every part of the chicken until the whole chicken becomes flat. Place it on a plate skin side up.

Step 2

Marinate chicken with a pinch of salt, Shaoxing cooking wine, and fermented sweet rice (Jiu Niang) for 1 hour.

Step 3

Remove the winter bamboo shoots’ skin, trim off the discolored parts, and cook the cleaned bamboo shoot in boiling water for 10 minutes to remove the bitter taste.

Step 4

Remove from boiling water and cool it down a bit. Thinly slice it.

Step 5

Thinly slice the ham.

Step 6

Arrange the sliced ham and the sliced winter bamboo shoots alternatively on top of the chicken: in the center for about 10-12 pieces, one piece ham, then one piece bamboo shoots (total amount of ham and winter bamboo shoots depends on the size of the plate). Sprinkle with a little sugar, green onion, and ginger.

Step 7

Steam the chicken for 40 minutes.

Step 8

Enjoy!
