I discovered a recipe for a Chinese steamed bun filling which also works well served with rice. The ingredients are fairly basic, and the result is delicious! Served up with Jasmine rice, everyone in the family loved it, even my pickiest eater - now that’s saying a lot!
Ingredients:
1 lb. chicken, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
4 green onions, sliced
2 Tbsp. fresh ginger root, chopped (use 2 tsp. powdered ginger if you don’t have fresh on hand)
2 Tbsp. light soy sauce
2 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil, plus 1 Tbsp. for cooking chicken
2 Tbsp. white sugar
ground black pepper to taste
1/4 C. water
Directions:
Chop chicken into bite-sized chunks. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add 1 Tbsp. oil. Cook chicken until no longer pink. Season with salt and set pan aside.
Mix together green onions, ginger, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, oil, sugar and pepper. Stir into the meat. Add water, mix thoroughly, warm through and serve with rice.
Serves 4-5
