Over the weekend, I made "Chicken ham." It may sound weird, though. There are three methods I tried.
1. Put one tbs of sugar and a half ts of salt on surface of chicken meat. Leave it for a few hours;
2. Wash it first and then put a half ts of salt and a bit of pepper. I also added mashed peel of lemons.
3. Cut some vegetables (Onion and Carrots) and wrap it in the chicken meat.
4. Make it like a big candy as above, and put it on a heat-resistant glass. I added some celery and lemon, so that it smells good.
5. Steam it in a large pan for 30 minutes.
Then, you will get:
Carefully take it out and cut them. Decorate them with some vegetables:
The second method is a bit more involved.
1. One litter of water, a few pieces of ginger and four tbs of vinegar. Put them together. Put two pieces of chicken breast meat into the mixed ingredient and bring it to a boil.
2. Cook it on a low heat for another 15 minutes or so. Then, remove it from heat. Leave it for 30 minutes or so.
3. Mix 1 and 1/2 cups of soy sauce, 2 tbs of sugar, 1 tbs of vinegar, 1 tbs of sake (white wine is Okay), and 1 tbs of brandy. Put the chicken meat in it. Leave it for 6 to 8 hours.
While waiting for the meat, make sauce for it.
1. Chop onion, green onion, garlic. Mix them.
2. Add 4 tbs of soy sauce, 1 tbs of vinegar, 1 ts of sugar, 1 ts of sesame oil.
Then, you will get:
It is very nice for lunch box. Yes, I said, "three methods." I am still waiting for the third method, chicken. I have to leave it for a few days.
