Speaking of chicken coconut, people who have been to Hainan will be familiar with it. Especially in Wenchang City, the dense coconut forest is rich in coconuts. Wenchang chicken is the most famous chicken in the local area, which is scattered under the forest. Pure original ecology, pure green nature.
When I went to Wenchang that year, I went to a restaurant with a good reputation, just under the coconut tree and surrounded by the whole coconut grove. Wenchang chicken is free-range in the forest and feeds on its own. The pure natural feeling makes people comfortable.
Shopkeepers now slaughter and cook, and coconuts are now picked. Pour coconut juice into the pot, use pure coconut juice without adding other seasonings. Wenchang chicken is slaughtered, chopped and cleaned. After the coconut juice is boiled, pour in the chicken pieces and stew for 5 minutes. The meat is fresh and tender, with the smell of chicken and the sweetness of coconut milk. Coupled with the dip of ginger and lime, the taste is unforgettable.
Coconuts and Wenchang chicken are not easy to buy in the north. If you want to try it once, you can only use local materials. Wenchang chicken is gone, so Sanhuang chicken is used instead. After all, Sanhuang chicken also has the characteristics of tender meat and easy cooking. Cooking this dish is the best substitute. Never use chicken, not to mention five minutes, 50 minutes is still tense.
There is no fresh coconut, so bottled coconut juice is easy to buy, especially those nominally pure coconut juice, which can be a perfect substitute. It's just that I have ready-made coconut powder at home, so I'll try it. Wash the coconut powder with warm water first, and don't pour it directly into the pot.
For dipping, I don't think it is necessary to deliberately pursue local tastes. Just make it according to your own preferences. Even if you are a local, you can recommend a local one to the dipper. Of course, you can ask the store to help you adjust different tastes according to your own preferences.
I used garlic as the basic flavor, with lemon and millet spicy, which is a fusion of local and local.
It's really simple to cook this dish, and it's also a home-cooked dish, and it doesn't need too many ingredients. Soy sauce, salt and sugar are all used for dipping, and nothing is put in the stewed chicken.
Sanhuang chicken is chopped into pieces and then cleaned, which means there is basically no blood.
Pour the chicken pieces into the pot and add coconut milk mixed with warm water. Of course, it would be better if you have coconut or finished coconut juice.
Stewed in a hurry for seven or eight minutes, Wenchang chicken for five minutes, and I feel completely cooked with Sanhuang chicken in seven or eight minutes.
Make dipping sauce when stewing chicken. Chop garlic, add some millet and chopped shallots, add salt and sugar, and pour in some soy sauce.
In fact, I think this dish has a very important taste feature, which is the local lime. Anyone who has been to Hainan knows that in the local diet, people often use local green lime instead of vinegar, because it is not only sour, but also fruity. So I used lemon instead.
The prepared dip can be washed away with chicken soup, keeping the original flavor and pure natural taste.
Actually, it's that simple. The first time I ate chicken and coconut, I was also surprised that it was delicious without seasoning for such a short time. But when I picked up a piece of chicken, dipped it in small ingredients and put it in my mouth, I was attracted by the delicious and unique taste. Coupled with the tender and smooth chicken, it is really a wonderful feeling. Finally, a bowl of coconut chicken soup, wow! comfortable
