It is easy to settle for noodle dishes when cooking for oneself and this is another one of my favourite light meals. I am a big fan of using poached chicken as topping for my noodle dishes or porridge, very often a whole chicken is poached to last me for quite a few days . If you are cooking for yourself and do not plan to have the same thing for a week, a chicken breast can be poached to perfection in minutes. I will also be showing you a few different ways of using the tender and moist meat.
P.S You will also be able to prepare Ipoh hor fun and Hue chicken salad in smaller quantity using the poached chicken so be sure to check out those recipes.
you'll need;
2 x (50 g) glass noodles or noodles of your choice
lettuce, bean sprouts or Asian greens of your choice
crispy garlic and garlic oil
chopped spring onions
yields enough chicken for 4 serves
for the poached chicken and broth;
1 large chicken breast (around 350 g)
1 spring onion
5 slices of ginger
2 garlic cloves, bashed
1.5 L of water
1 tbs of Chinese cooking wine
1 tbs of light soy
1 tbs of oyster sauce
salt and pepper to taste
sugar to taste
Bring water to a boil with all the aromatics, lets simmer for 15 minutes before adding the chicken breast. Turn the heat up and when the water returns to a simmer turn off the heat, cover and let the chicken steep in the hot broth for 20 minutes. Do not attempt to open the cover before the time is up. Reserve the poaching liquor.
Cool the chicken for 10 to 15 minutes before shredding the tender meat into nice long slivers.

ReplyDeleteRice is the seed of the grass species Oryza sativa (Asian rice) or less commonly Oryza glaberrima (African rice). The name wild rice is usually used for species dry food of the genera Zizania and Porteresia, both wild and domesticated, although the term may also be used for primitive or uncultivated varieties of Oryza.
