MODIFIED Salt baked herbal chicken

Yesterday was Harmeet's birthday!!

Happy birthday to you!!!

I made a very special dish for our potluck

Guess what?

A MODIFIED SALTED BAKED HERBAL CHICKEN =P

....

Actually it's originated from Chinese Hakka

Story starts in a long, long time ago,

These people were actually trying to move to the south of China

Unfortunately, during the journey, they were often attacked and drove away by other tribes

So they have to keep on moving and moving, from a place to the other places

Obviously it was hard to bring their cattles along while moving

so they slaughtered those cattles for their meat

and put it inside a salt bag, to preserve it

This has eventually turned out to be one of the greatest Hakka's delicious cuisine

However, it is now believed that Hakka used salt from the need they had to replace salt lost when they work in the field

lol..Whatever it is,

I wanna make a change today!! ( sorry I am not a Hakka)

Ingredients:

1) chicken 1.5kg

2) Onions x2
3) Mushrooms (optional)
4) Spice bake mix x2 packets (to replace salts)

5) Ginger garlic paste x3 packets

6) 1 teaspoon of rice wine
7) Chinese herb jujubae x10

8) Chinese herb goji berry x20

......

Method:

1) Rub the chicken together with salts and ginger garlic paste
2) Add onions, and chinese herbs, jujubae and goji berries together with a teaspoon of rice wine
3) Marinate it for 30minutes or less
4) Cover it with foil
5) Steam it either using an oven/rice cooker for another 30 minutes

6) READY TO SERVE!!

before steaming

Time taken: 1 hour

It's so easy right?

Sorry I'm not following a traditional method

since I am actually a very lazy person =.=

but it tastes as delicious as the ori~!

yummy..

and I would give 4/5 for this
