Recipe and step by step soon.
To a pot of water add Chinese cooking wine, five spice powder, sesame oil, crushed ginger & garlic, salt & crushed white pepper corns. Lower chicken into water and bring to a boil; lower heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Turn heat off and let chicken sit in broth till it is cold. (No peeking). Remove from cold broth; dust with little more five spice power & salt and rub with sesame oil. Put into refrigerator overnight. Before serving, slice into thin slices. Top with room temperature reduced broth; fried minced garlic with its oil and garnish with cilantro.
Wm cooked the free range chicken just perfectly; it was tender and just cooked, and when cooled, had a thin layer of gelatine under the skin. The chicken although small had a 'real' chicken taste (which supermarket battery chickens just do not possess) and it was lean with a thin non-fatty skin. The ginger sauce is a fantastic accompaniment!


And here is the pandan flavoured brown rice; hugely expensive from the hills of Bario but very nice.


And Dom's winning again.
