作り方

手順

1
In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, shaoxing wine, sliced ginger, and cut scallion.
約2 分
2
Place the whole chicken into the marinade, ensuring it is coated well inside and out.
約1 分
3
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, turning occasionally.
約30 分
調理のヒント： Longer marinating time will result in more flavorful chicken.
4
While the chicken marinates, prepare the stuffing by sautéing the diced pork belly in a pan until lightly browned.
約5 分
5
Add the rehydrated shiitake mushrooms, cooked chestnuts, and diced bamboo shoots to the pan.
約2 分
6
Stir in the oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
約3 分
7
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the ginger and scallion.
約1 分
8
Loosely stuff the chicken cavity with the prepared stuffing mixture.
約3 分
調理のヒント： Do not overstuff, as the ingredients will expand slightly during cooking.
9
Carefully wrap the stuffed chicken in the rehydrated lotus leaves, ensuring it is fully enclosed.
約5 分
調理のヒント： You may need to overlap the leaves to cover the chicken completely.
10
Wrap the lotus leaf-wrapped chicken tightly in a large sheet of aluminum foil.
約2 分
調理のヒント： This provides an extra layer of protection and helps retain moisture.
11
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
約15 分
12
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with water, mixing until a stiff dough forms.
約5 分
調理のヒント： Add water gradually until the desired consistency is reached.
13
On a clean surface, roll out the flour dough into a large sheet, big enough to completely encase the chicken.
約5 分
調理のヒント： Aim for a thickness of about 1 cm.
14
Place the foil-wrapped chicken in the center of the dough and carefully fold the dough around it, sealing all seams to create a tight clay shell.
約10 分
調理のヒント： Ensure there are no cracks in the clay to prevent steam from escaping.
15
Place the clay-encased chicken on a baking sheet.
約1 分
16
Bake in the preheated oven for 4 hours.
約4 時間
17
After baking, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 30 minutes.
約30 分
調理のヒント： This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, leading to a more tender chicken.
18
Carefully crack open the hardened clay shell with a hammer or a sturdy blunt object.
約5 分
調理のヒント： Be gentle to avoid damaging the lotus leaves inside.
19
Remove the aluminum foil and lotus leaves to reveal the perfectly cooked chicken.
