Steamed Chicken with Waxed Meat - Wax Meat #1


*More nourish mag winners below this post*

A simple dish that will make you eat and eat and eat more rice.

Easy to do and definitely lovable to gobble.
Thanks Jes for sharing this wonderful recipe.

This was my first time using waxed pork belly and it was delicious!




Steamed Chicken with Waxed Meat
Largely adapted from: Jes's Deli Kitchen 

750gm chicken (2 large whole legs or half a bird)
2 chinese sausages, sliced
50gm waxed pork belly, sliced

Marinade
1 tsp ginger juice
2 tsp light soy sauce
1 Tbsp Shao xing wine
1 Tbsp corn starch
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/3 tsp salt
2 Tbsp water


Mix the marinade evenly onto the chicken
Moisten the sausage to ease the peeling
Wow, I was so accurate, LOL.
Do this as the chicken marinates
use a dish that will be able to hold some gravy
Check the center to see if it's done. If the chicken looks raw, steam it longer.

  9. Jenny,
    No candle wax or beeswax is added to make waxed meat. It's the fat of the meat that is 'waxed' through drying.
