ALMOND BONELESS CHICKEN (WOR SU GAI)



Almond Boneless Chicken (Wor Su Gai) image

This almond boneless chicken recipe, also known as War Su Gai or chicken soo guy was given to me by my Aunt, who many years ago, when I was a child introduced me to Chinese cuisine. This was served in a popular Detroit Chinese restaurant and it was actually the first Chinese food that I ever ate. I loved it then and love it now....

WARR-SHU-GAI ALMOND BONELESS CHICKEN



Warr-Shu-Gai Almond Boneless Chicken image

Warr Shu Gai or Almond Boneless Chicken, like chop suey, is a Chinese-inspired American dish. So far as I have been able to determine, it originated in Detroit. It was a favorite dish of my childhood there. Every Cantonese restaurant in the area serves it, but I've never been able to find it outside of Michigan. Descriptions of it to Chinese restaurant personnel elsewhere have been met with blank stares.

3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin
1 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil
3 tablespoons peeled and minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 red pepper, seeded, membrane removed, julienned
1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
1/2 medium head green cabbage, finely shredded
1/2 large head Napa cabbage, finely shredded
1/2 medium head purple cabbage, finely shredded
1/2 cup julienned carrots
1 cup sliced button mushrooms
1/4 cup shaved bamboo shoots, drained
1/4 cup sliced water chestnuts, drained
4 eggs, beaten
2 recipes Chinese Crepes with Scallions, recipe follows
3 tablespoons toasted black sesame seeds
1 small bunch scallions, finely shaved
Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving, optional
Sriracha, for serving, optional
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup rice flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 eggs
2 scallions, finely sliced
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Whisk the hoisin, soy, mirin, sesame oil, garlic and ginger in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the sliced chicken and toss to coat evenly. Marinate the chicken, covered, at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Once 5 minutes of marinating time remains, heat a large wok or skillet over high heat and add 2 tablespoons of the canola oil to heat. Using a slotted spoon, strain the chicken add to the very hot wok or skillet. Cook, allowing it to brown, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Add the red bell pepper and the onion slices, allowing them to soften, another minute. Next, add the cabbages and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until just browning, about 2 minutes. Push the chicken and vegetables to the side of the wok and stir in the mushrooms, bamboo shoots and water chestnuts. Remove from the heat and set aside, keeping warm.
  • Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil. Add the beaten eggs to the skillet, allowing to scramble, 2 to 3 minutes. Once cooked, break up the eggs with a rubber spatula and add to the chicken. Toss to combine.
  • Spread about 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce on each Chinese Crepes with Scallions. Top with some mu shu chicken, sesame seeds and scallions. Add cilantro leaves if desired. Roll up like a crepe and serve with Sriracha if desired.
  • In a medium glass mixing bowl, whisk the flours, salt, 1 cup water, the sesame oil and eggs; the batter should be smooth and free of lumps.
  • Heat a crepe pan or 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Very lightly coat the skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Ladle in 1/4 cup of the batter. Gently rotate the skillet for a few seconds, swirling the batter to create a thin, even layer over the bottom. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons scallions to each pancake at this point. Cook the pancake until the underside is pale and just firmed up, about 1 minute.
  • Flip the pancake over and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove from the skillet and transfer to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel. Continue with the rest of the batter until all the pancakes have been made. Keep warm until ready to serve.

CRISPY FRIED ALMOND CHICKEN WITH GRAVY RECIPE - (3.8/5)



Crispy Fried Almond Chicken with Gravy Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by gmasusan

Number Of Ingredients 17

SAUCE:
50 grams Fry's chicken style strips, or similar, frozen
1 tablespoon cornflour, (cornstarch)
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
50 milliliters water
25 grams breadcrumbs, I like to use freshly made from stale bread here, or panko.
2 tablespoons almonds, chopped
Extra cornflour to coat
Shredded lettuce to serve
Vegetable oil to fry
2 tablespoons cornflour
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoons vegan butter
4 teaspoons soy sauce
1 1/2 cups water

Steps:

  • First toast the chopped almonds in a wok until lightly golden and fragrant. Set aside and give the wok a wipe with a dry towel as you'll be using it to fry later. In a small saucepan bring the 1 1/2 cups of water for the sauce to the boil. Add the frozen chicken strips and lightly boil with the lid on for 3 minutes. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon or a couple of forks and drain on a clean kitchen towel. Do not dump the water! Add the vegan butter and soy sauce to the chicken stock and heat until the butter melts then turn off the heat. In another saucepan mix the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water until smooth then slowly add the chicken soy stock until all is added. Heat and stir until thick and glossy. Check seasoning, turn off heat and set aside. In a small bowl add the cornflour, baking powder, xanthan gum and whisk. Add the water and vegetable oil and whisk really well until it is smooth and really thick. Toss the drained chicken strips into some more cornflour, then coat them in the batter then into the breadcrumbs. It's easiest to have one hand for the batter and the other hand for the breadcrumbs here. Keep going until all the strips are coated and place them on a plate ready to fry. Heat about an inch or two of vegetable oil in the wok you used to toast the almonds until it is very hot. Gently place the breaded chicken into the oil and fry until crisp and golden on both sides. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat until all the chicken is fried. Reheat the gravy and give it a whisk- if it has thickened too much, you can also add a bit more water. Place some shredded lettuce on a plate, top with the fried chicken then spoon over the gravy generously. Sprinkle over the toasted almonds and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use a Well-Seasoned Wok: A well-seasoned wok will help prevent sticking and will give your dishes a nice smoky flavor.
  • Heat Your Wok Properly: Make sure your wok is nice and hot before adding your ingredients. This will help them cook evenly and prevent sticking.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Wok: Don't overcrowd the wok with ingredients. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick.
  • Use a High-Quality Sauce: The sauce is what makes this dish, so make sure you use a high-quality sauce that you enjoy. You can either use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Serve Immediately: Chicken Su Guy is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that it is hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Chicken Su Guy is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and can be made with a variety of different ingredients. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give Chicken Su Guy a try!
