Authentic Chinese
Posted in Antiques on 08/19/2010 02:36 pm by adminHow can I cook an authentic chinese chicken curry?
All I get in the supermarkets is that Indian stuff and I really like the chinese take-aways best
China town! I live in the back of beyond it's either the Co-op or Tesco!
Feel free to use chicken thighs instead of breasts, and to replace the curry paste with 1 tablespoon curry powder if needed. For extra flavor, try cooking the rice in chicken broth or coconut milk.
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
2 potatoes
1 red onion
2 tablespoons oil for stir-frying
2 tablespoons curry paste (traditional Indian yellow curry paste is best)
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup long-grained rice
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, or to taste
PREPARATION:
Chop the chicken into 1 1/2 inch pieces. Peel the potates and red onion. Cut into pieces approximately the same size as the chicken.
Heat the wok over medium-high to high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil to the heated wok. When the oil is hot, add the onion. Stir-fry until the onion is softened and translucent. Add the curry paste and stir-fry until fragrant (about 2 minutes). Add the chicken and potato and stir-fry for about 5 minutes so that the chicken is browned and coated with the curry paste.
Add the chicken broth, sugar, salt, and pepper, cover, and simmer over low heat for about 15 - 20 minutes, making sure the chicken is cooked.
While the chicken is simmering, cook the rice. In a medium saucepan, bring the rice and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil, uncovered, at medium heat. Turn the heat down to medium low. Cook the rice, partially covered, until the water is absorbed and you can see holes or "craters" in the rice. Turn the heat down to low, cover tightly and simmer for another 15 minutes.
Taste the curried chicken and adjust the seasoning if desired. Serve hot over rice. Sprinkle the ground coriander over top.
Variations
Traditionally, the dish is made with a whole cut up chicken, with the bones left in.
