Cooking time:30 minutes
Difficulty:Pretty simple
Ingredients:
Chicken:
- 3 chicken Maryland pieces (drumstick and thigh)
- 5-6 cups water
- 4 slices fresh ginger
- 2 green onions, cut into 5 cm lengths and lightly smashed
- 10 whole peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Ginger Scallion Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 green onions, finely sliced
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (optional to add chilli oil)
- 2 tablespoons Chang's Gluten Free Tamari Light Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Chang's Original Oyster Sauce
- ¾ cup reserved chicken poaching liquid
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 teaspoons Chang's Sesame Oil
To Serve:
- 1 packet Chang's Vermicelli Rice Noodles
Method:
- Prepare the Poaching Liquid
Add to a pot the chicken, ginger, green onions, peppercorns, sea salt and enough water to cover and bring to boiling point. - Poach the Chicken
Once boiling, reduce the heat, cover and gently simmer for 20 minutes. - Rest the Chicken and Prepare the Noodles
Turn off the heat, cover the pot and leave the chicken to rest in the poaching liquid for a further 10–15 minutes.
To check that it is cooked, insert a chopstick or skewer into the thickest part of a thigh.
The chicken is ready when the juices run clear.
Meanwhile, place the rice vermicelli noodles in a heatproof bowl and cover completely with boiling water.
Leave for 3–4 minutes, or until tender, then drain well. - Shred the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the poaching liquid and reserve ¾ of a cup of the cooking liquid. Once cool enough to handle, shred or slice the chicken. - Cook the Ginger Scallion Sauce
While the chicken is cooling, add the vegetable oil to a small pot over medium heat.
Add the green onions, ginger and chilli flakes, then cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in Chang’s Tamari Light Soy Sauce, Chang’s Oyster Sauce, Chang’s Sesame Oil and the reserved poaching liquid.
Simmer for a few minutes. - Serve
Arrange the noodles on a serving platter and place the chicken over the top.
Spoon the warm ginger scallion sauce generously over the chicken and noodles.
Alternatively, coat the chicken with the sauce in a separate bowl and allow it to stand for 1–2 minutes to absorb the flavours before arranging it over the noodles.
Serve immediately.
