Today I am going to make a spicy chicken salad.
First I need to cook chicken legs
Any rice wine
add in onion and ginger
rice wine
water cover the chicken legs
turn on the heat and boil it
boiling now
turn the heat to low immediately
remove the foam that rises to the top
let the water simmer at around 90 degree celcius
This way the chicken will be tender
Simmer for five minutes
and then turn off the heat and cover with lid let it set 20-30 minutes
Now we are preparing other ingredients
Cucumber, onion
Fresh peppers,
ginger
Black fungus and coriander
Recommended with white onions
Ginger cut into thin strips
Cut the pepper into strips
Prepare ice water and ice cubes
20 minutes is up
do a chopstick test by sticking a chopstick into the thickest part of the chicken thigh, if no blood water seeps out it's ready
if not cook another 2 minutes on low heat and let set for a while
place the cooked chicken into ice water
and immediately cover with a good amount of ice cubes
Until the chicken legs cool down
Chicken soup can be used to cook noodles
Now I use this chicken soup to cook these black fungus
It is recommended to soak the chicken legs with enough ice water.
this sudden change in temperature will shock the chicken meat and give it a very tender chewy texture
Chicken legs are ready
Now we are making the sauce
Chili oil is ready
You can also buy chili oil from the supermarket.
But this is very fragrant
We will add other seasonings now
I guess someone will ask me if I forgot to put Sichuan pepper powder into it.
In fact, you can add some Sichuan pepper powder before pouring hot oil.
But I skip this step today and use the pepper oil that I bought from the supermarket.
This kind of pepper oil will taste stronger
But you can still add extra Sichuan pepper powder
This is the ingredients we prepared before. This black fungus is cooked.
I need spicy ingredients first
Ginger, fresh pepper, onion and coriander
mix well
let it set for a while
You can up the chicken
or tear them into shreds with your hands
It may be easier to use a kitchen scissors
Cut the chicken meat first
Look at the chicken's meat, very tender and juice.
You can leave the chicken bones if you like
now back to the sauce
All ingredients are fully immerse
pour in the 1/2 cup of chicken soup leftover from cooking the chicken earlier.
The last step, I will mix all the ingredients
Black Fungus（cooked）
cucumber ，Can also use celery
pour the sauce in
Sprinkle some coriander
some Sichuan pepper oil
Roasted white sesame
this dish is best when consumed cold so I recommend chilling in the fridge for one hour.
