Ground Chicken Minced Meat

9:00 PM Posted by patty , No comments



So this is a total classic in my family, it's one of those dish that gets The Husband home faster than normal...  :D  It's amazing how such a simple dish can bring so much delight to our family.  Over rice, on noodle, it's just delicious any way you serve it.

Ground Chicken Minced Meat
ingredients
  • 2lb Ground Chicken - we use ground chicken in our family because it's less fatty
  • 6 Dried Black Mushroom, reconstituted & chopped
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 1 tsp little Dried Shrimp, chopped OR 2 Dried Scallops, reconstituted & shredded
  • 1 tsp Dried Onion Flakes
  • 5 Spices Powder
  • Rock Candy or Brown Sugar
  • Low Sodium Soy Sauce*
  • Oyster Sauce*

directions
1. In a large pot (we use a clay pot), add a little oil and saute the ground chicken with garlic, slowly breaking the meat apart. Cook the ground chicken apart until it is crumbly.
2. Add some Oyster Sauce, this is just to darken the meat.
3. Add Soy Sauce, then Sugar and lastly 5 Spices Powder, season to taste.  With the 5 Spices Powder, you want to add little by little so it doesn't overpower the flavor of the meat.
4. Let the meat simmer, taste and season to liking ...  then add the mushroom. Let this simmer for 10 minutes.
5. Lastly add the dried onion flakes.


*Notes on Soy Sauce
Because not all soy sauce are created the same or with the same saltiness level, so if you only have 1 type of soy sauce and it's a very dark and salty one, it'll work to replace the 2 required.
