Title: Circle Game (3)
Categories: Blank
Yield: 1 Servings
| 3 | PON PON SHREDDED CHICKEN |
3 cups stock (or water) 3 or 4 chicken breasts (to produce approximately 1 1/2 cups of shredded chicken) 2 bean paste sheets (or wide carrot or cucumber strips)
SEASONING: 2 tbs peanut butter 1 tsp sesame oil 1/2 tsp light soy sauce 1/2 tsp red pepper oil
SAUCE: 1/2 tsp sugar 1/2 tsp sesame oil 1/4 tsp salt
1. Mix well, separately, seasoning and sauce ingredients.
2. Bring stock (or salted water) to the boil, immerse chicken breasts and turn off flame. Soak until cooled, then shred into strips. (Alternatively, for authentic and finer texture, cover breasts with a clean cloth and shred by hitting them with a mallet--hence the sound of ponpon.)
3. Lay bean paste sheets in a suitable flat container, and blanch in hot water for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and rinse under cold running water. Drain and cut into finger-sized strips and mix with sauce mixture.
4. Spoon into serving dish, pile shredded chicken on top and pour seasoning mixture over.
