Cantonese White Cut Chicken
Ingredients:
1 small chicken
4 green onions
2 oz sliced ginger
2 - 3 tbsp cooking wine
1 tsp salt
For the dipping sauce:
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tbsp chopped green onion
Half tsp olive oil
1 tsp sesame oil
Half tsp salt
Half tsp roasted sesame seeds
A quarter tsp sugar
Directions:
Cut the green onion approximately one inch long.
Add half green onion and half sliced ginger in the chicken's tummy.
In a large soup pot, add chicken, the rest of the green onion, sliced ginger and half pot of water (just about cover the chicken). Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, and then use a soup strainer to strain all the dark bubbles on top of the water. Reduce the heat to the lowest and cook for 25 minutes.
Transfer the chicken to a plate. While the chicken is hot, add cooking wine and salt and rub everything evenly with the chicken.
Cut the chicken into small chunks. Add all the dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
