No need to bake over hours to make this Chinese style pulled chicken. The Baked-salt seasoning may be purchased at any Chinese grocery stores and it will give your chicken a special flavor. If you can't find them, you may try to use salt, ground pepper and ground rosemary instead.
Simple ingredients:
- 2 Chicken thighs (or breasts for lean cooking)
- Cooking wine
- Salt and ground pepper
- Green onion, diced
- Ginger, diced
- Garlic, diced
- Cilantro, diced
- Baked-salt seasoning
- cooking oil
- sesame oil
- Optional: carrot, shredded
- Marinate chicken pieces with salt, ground pepper and cooking wine for at least one hour in a microwaveable bowl.
- Add some water just over the chicken. Microwave on high 5 minutes at a time, turn and cook another 5 minutes. Repeat until chicken is fully cooked.
- Place ice cubes and water in another bowl. Place cooked chicken into the ice cold water to cool the chicken immediately. After chicken is cooled completely, pull chicken apart by hands into shredded pieces. Shred chicken skin with a knife.
- Spoon the proper amount of Baked-salt dressing over the shredded chicken and mix with a fork or spoon. Ready to eat. Serve warm or cold.
- Place diced green onions, ginger, garlic, cilantro and some baked-salt seasoning in a heat-resistant bowl (such as ramekin). Heat the cooking oil on the stove until hot, spoon into the bowl just over other seasonings. Stir and mix, drizzle some sesame oil.
- Don't waste the soup from the chicken...just add some green leafy veggies, tofu, Goji and little Baked-salt dressing...You just make yourself a bowl of delicious soup!
- Also, you may fill the pulled chicken in between of Lotus Leaf Buns as finger food for your parties.
