What you need
Quantities for 2 servings
| Chicken breast | 300 g |
|---|---|
| Butter or oakleaf lettuce leaves | 8 leaves |
| Cucumber | 1 small |
| Carrot | 50 g |
| Ginger slices | 3 slices |
| Rice wine | 1 tbsp |
| Salt | 1/2 tsp |
| Sesame paste | 2 tbsp |
| Soy sauce | 1 tbsp |
| Water | 1 tbsp |
How to make it
- Put the chicken, ginger, rice wine and salt in a pot and add enough cold water to cover the chicken.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, turn it down to low, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes, then turn off the heat and leave it covered for another 10 minutes.
- Poke the thickest part with a chopstick. It is cooked only if no pink juices run out. If you have a thermometer, check the center and make sure it is cooked all the way through before you take it out.
- Let it cool, then shred it into fine strips along the grain.
- Wash the cucumber and carrot and cut them into thin strips.
- Stir the sesame paste, soy sauce and water together.
- Wash and drain the lettuce leaves. Add shredded chicken and vegetables, drizzle on a little sauce and wrap them up.
Tips
- Cook the chicken until the center is completely done, with no raw color left.
- Keep the poaching liquid. Add a little salt and some chopped spring onion and you have a bowl of soup.
- If the leaves are small, overlap two before wrapping.
