Hi Nancy,
Linda of Michigan asked for the recipe for peking chicken in
21st Aug newsletter.
Peking Chicken
Pour water in a pot enough to cover one or two chickens. (I
normally cook two and freeze one for the next week) Add 1
tbsp star aniseed, 1 tbsp 5 spice powder (alternately, can
use mixed spices), 2tbsp dark soya sauces, 1 tbsp light soya
sauces and salt to taste stir to combine. If the flavours
are too strong for you, you can alter them according to
taste.
Boil the combined ingredient before lowering chicken into
the pot to boil for another 45 minutes. Let the chicken soak
for another 15 min. Then let it drip dry on a metal rack.
When chicken is reasonably dry, deep fry the chicken, then
debone it and scred the flesh into pieces, Take out a piece
of "popiah" skin ( I think you call them samosa skin over
there?), spread hoisin sauce over it, top it with the
screded chicken and roll it up.
Instead of spreading, you can just dip the roll ups into a
bowl of hoisin sauce before you eat them. Hope that helps.
