Hainan coconut chicken, I'm sure you've heard of this dish. I've heard of its daimyo for a long time, but I've never had a chance to eat it. I used to think that coconut chicken was stewed and eaten, just like boiling old chicken soup, putting coconuts and whole chicken in a pot and simmering can be eaten.
But what I didn't expect was that since watching the variety show "Chinese Restaurant", I knew that it was really not stewed and eaten, but a different kind of "hot pot"!
I don't know if you have been chasing the variety show "Chinese Restaurant" recently? During the holidays, I inadvertently ordered this show, when it happened that Huang Xiaoming and they went to Hainan, and three five-star chefs in Hainan taught them to make 3 dishes, the most important of which was the Hainan coconut chicken dish!
Let's take a look at the alternative hot pot recipe of Hainan coconut chicken!
Step 1: Let's treat the coconut first.
This dish was taught to Ding Zhen by the chef, and the most troublesome thing was coconut handling. Chef taught Ding Zhen to take out a large coconut first, and after processing it, he produced the coconut meat.
After that, open the small mouth, pour out the coconut water inside, set aside, divide the coconut into 1 into 2, and use a special tool to dig out the coconut meat along the edge. After the coconut meat is dug out, scrape off a layer of skin off the surface of the coconut with a spatula and cut into coarse strips for later.
Step 2: Handle the chicken.
To make Hainan coconut chicken, you must use Wenchang chicken, Wenchang chicken is a specialty of Hainan, the skin is thin and crispy and the meat is tender and smooth, and it is not authentic to use chickens produced in other places. When handling the chicken, divide the chicken into 2 from the back and cut it in half. Then chop the whole chicken into small pieces and set aside (the cutting method is similar to the cutting method of white chopped chicken).
Cut the chicken into small pieces, put it in a bowl, add some shredded onion and ginger, and set aside.
Step 3 Makes the soup base.
The chef prepares horseshoes and celery, puts them in a casserole dish, adds a large handful of lotus seeds, pours the coconut water that was taken out earlier, and then adds the coconut meat strips that have been cut earlier.
Step 4: Make the dipping sauce
Prepared some minced garlic, put ginger in the pot, stir-fry the incense, then put in the minced garlic and stir-fry, stir-fry the aroma, then put some water, and then put on the appropriate amount of soy sauce, sugar, before leaving the pot added a little green onion, put it aside for later.
When eating, put a small stove on the table, boil the casserole pot with coconut juice, after boiling, you can eat the chicken, the chicken is cooked and then dipped in the previous dipping sauce, you can start! This is the famous Hainan coconut chicken recipe!
Eat the same way as hot pot. However, its soup base is a clear soup base, no spicy, no other large ingredients or the like, but with coconut juice and coconut meat to make a light and sweet soup base, with the soup base cooked tender chicken, and then dipped in dipping sauce to eat!
When we eat ordinary hot pot, the soup base cannot be drunk, but the soup base of Hainan coconut chicken can be drunk, which is more delicious than chicken.
Look at Ding Zhen Huang Xiaoming, tranquility of their reaction after eating coconuts, all said very delicious! Even Huang Xiaoming, who has always controlled his diet, unconsciously ate a large bowl! It really spoils people!
When you have the opportunity, be sure to go to Hainan to eat this authentic Hainan coconut chicken!
I don't know if the ordinary chicken we usually eat can be made Hainan coconut chicken? If you can, I would really like to try the Hainan coconut chicken method!
