Steps:
- Cut the chicken into small chunks and then cook in boiling water for around 30 seconds to remove the impurities. And then transfer out and drain.
- Marinate the chicken with around 2 tablespoons soy sauce for around 15 minutes. Drain before frying.
- Heat 2 tablespoons cooking oil in a pan or wok until really hot. Add chicken chunks in. Stay for around 1 minute until brown on one side and fragrant. And then turn them over to fry the other side.
- Move them to one side of the wok; add garlic, ginger, scallion and red onion until aroma. Mix well. Pour around 2 cups of hot water to soak the chicken chunks completely. Slow the fire to simmer for around 10 minutes. Add all the other sauce ingredients except sesame oil
- Add chestnuts in and continue simmer until the chestnuts are well cooked (soft to your own preference). Turn up the fire to thicken the sauce. When the sauce is well thickened, add sesame oil. Transfer to serving plate and garnish with chopped green onion before serving.

BRAISED CHESTNUT CHICKEN
Steps:
- Put mushrooms in a bowl, and cover with boiling water. Pour 1/16 inch of oil in a large deep skillet or casserole, preferably nonstick, and place over medium heat. Cut an "X" in flat side of each chestnut, and add them to oil. Cook, shaking pan occasionally, until skins loosen, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels; when cool, peel.
- While chestnuts cool, drain all but about 2 tablespoons oil from skillet. With heat on medium, add scallions and ginger and cook, stirring once or twice, for about 30 seconds. Reserve about 1/2 cup of mushroom soaking liquid, then drain mushrooms and add to pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly brown, about 2 minutes. Remove mixture with a slotted spoon, and reserve.
- Put chicken pieces in skillet skin-side down. Brown well on all sides, then add mushroom mixture to pan, along with soy sauce, mushroom-soaking liquid and chestnuts. Stir well, cover, and turn heat to low. Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, adding water if mixture dries out; dish is done when chicken and chestnuts are tender and sauce is thickened slightly. Serve hot, with rice.
BRAISED CHESTNUTS
Steps:
- Heat a large heavy saucepan. Add the oil, butter, and chopped onions. When onions turn slightly brown, deglaze with port wine. Add thyme, chestnuts, chicken stock, and a little salt and pepper. Cover and cook until chestnuts are tender and the chestnuts have absorbed most of the liquid.
- Serve as whole braised chestnuts or pass through a ricer and make a wonderful chestnut puree.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Bring a saucepan of water to the boil. Score the chestnuts and drop them into the boiling water. Let simmer 2 minutes. Turn off heat and leave chestnuts in the water. Extract 2 or 3 at a time and peel them, carefully removing the inner skin that clings to the nutmeats. If the process becomes too difficult, bring the water to the boil again to help loosen the skins. When all the chestnuts are peeled, set aside.
- Cut the cabbage in quarters, remove any wilted leaves, cut out the core and slice each quarter approximately 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
- Remove rind from bacon. Cut into lardons and fry gently until the bacon bits are brown and crisp. Drain the bacon bits and set aside.
- Chop the onion coarsely and saute in the bacon fat until it starts to brown. Set aside.
- Peel and core the apples and cut into chunks.
- In a medium-sized casserole dish, arrange the cabbage, bacon, onion, apples and chestnuts. Bury the bay leaves and the crushed clove of garlic in the center. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper. Add the wine.
- Bring the broth to a boil in a separate saucepan and pour broth over the cabbage mixture. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place in preheated oven. Bake for 1 hour. Remove foil and if there is still a lot of liquid in the dish, raise heat to 400 degrees. Continue baking for another 30 minutes until the top starts to brown. Remove the bay leaves. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- With a sharp knife, cut a cross in the rounded side of each chestnut. Bring a large pan of water to a boil. Immerse chestnuts, and let boil for about 3 minutes. Turn off heat, but leave chestnuts in hot water. Extract them one at a time, and remove shell and inner lining that clings to the meat. If necessary, return nuts to hot water, and boil another minute or two. When all chestnuts have been peeled, set them aside.
- Cut off onion tops. Trim root end to make a neat appearance, but leave enough of it intact to hold the onions together while cooking. Peel onions.
- In wide casserole or deep saute pan that can go into the oven, melt butter in corn oil. When butter foam has subsided, add onions, and cook over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes, turning frequently, to brown all over.
- Add chestnuts to onions and mix well. Add glace de viande, wine and black pepper. When wine is bubbling, place a round of buttered aluminum foil directly over chestnuts and onions, cover pan, and place in a 350-degree oven. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until onions can be pierced through with a knife but are still firm and hold their shape. There should be a small amount of syrupy liquid in the bottom of the pan. If there is too much, place over medium-high heat for a few minutes to reduce. Serve immediately.
