Soy-braised chicken
serves 6–8
ingredients
1 chicken, about 1.4kg/3lb
1 tablespoon ground black
peppercorns
2 tablespoons minced fresh
root ginger
75ml/3fl oz light soy sauce
3 tablespoons Chinese rice wine
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
vegetable oil for deep-frying
600ml/1pt chicken stock
2 teaspoons salt
25g/1oz crystallized sugar
• Rub the chicken both inside and out with the peppercorns and ginger.
Marinate the chicken with the soy sauce, rice wine and brown sugar for
at least 3 hours in the refrigerator, turning it several times.
• Heat a wok until very hot. Add the oil and, when the oil is hot enough,
remove the chicken from the marinade (reserving the marinade), and
deep-fry for 6 minutes or until brown all over. Remove and drain on
kitchen paper.
• Pour off any excess oil, add the marinade with the stock, salt and
crystallized sugar, and bring to the boil. Return the chicken to the pan,
cover and braise the chicken in the sauce for 35–40 minutes, turning
once or twice.
• Remove the chicken from the wok and allow it cool a little before
chopping it into bite-size pieces. Pour the sauce over the chicken and
serve immediately.
