An easy to make recipe. Hand shredded sand ginger chicken 沙姜鸡. You can make it with all kinds of chicken meat, thighs, chicken leg, drumsticks or chicken. This recipe I have used a chicken leg.
Ingredients
- 1 chicken leg
- 1 pcs ginger
Marinade
- 2 tsp turmeric
- 2 tsp salt baked spices mix
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Dressing
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp salt baked spices mix
- 2 tbsp cilantro
- 1 tbsp roasted sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp chicken broth from the steamed chicken
Marinate the chicken legs with the marinade and ginger for at least 30 minutes. Steam the chicken leg for a bout 15 minutes and let it cool down for 15 minutes. Save some broth from the steamed chicken for the dressing. The turmeric gives the chicken skin a beautiful yellow color. Hand shred the chicken. Optional is to put some cucumber, steamed tofu or other vegetables under the shredded chicken. Put the dressing on top of the chicken and it is ready.
