Chicken Jook With Lots Of Vegetables Food

CHICKEN JOOK WITH LOTS OF VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Place chicken in hot oil, season with salt and ground black pepper and cook until well-browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside. Add scallions, ginger, garlic, and jalapeno pepper to the pot; cook until soft, about 2 minutes.
• Pour water and rice into pot; bring to a boil, then lower heat to simmer. Cover the pot partially and cook for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent rice from sticking to the bottom.
• Stir chicken into soup and cover partially. Continue to cook until the soup is creamy with a porridge-like consistency, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.
• Remove chicken, pull meat from bones, and return meat to the pot. Stir in cabbage, snow peas, bean sprouts, soy sauce, and sesame oil; cook until vegetables are just tender, about 5 minutes. Garnish jook with cilantro.

JOOK

Steps:

• Combine chicken, broth, rice, 1 piece of ginger, white and light-green parts of scallions, 8 cups water, and 1 tablespoon salt in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and partially cover. Cook at a bare simmer, stirring a few times, until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest piece of chicken near but not touching the bone registers 160 degrees (the temperature will rise to 165 degrees as chicken rests), 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and loosely cover with foil to keep warm.
• Continue simmering porridge until rice breaks down and mixture is creamy, 45 to 55 minutes more. Remove and discard ginger and scallions. Peel remaining piece of ginger and julienne. Thinly slice scallion tops. Remove skin and bones from chicken, shred meat into bite-size pieces, and stir any accumulated juices from plate into porridge. Place chicken in bottom of serving bowls, spoon over porridge, top with ginger and scallion, drizzle with sesame and chili oils, and season with pepper to serve.

CHICKEN JOOK

Steps:

• Cut off scallion greens and reserve greens separately from white and pale green parts. Cut ginger in half crosswise and smash 1 piece with flat side of a large heavy knife, reserving remaining piece. Wrap smashed piece of ginger, cilantro, and white and pale green parts of scallion in cheesecloth and tie into a bundle with string.
• Rinse chicken inside and out and put in a 4-to 6-quart heavy pot along with cheesecloth bundle, salt, and water, then bring to a simmer, covered. Cook, covered, 15 minutes.
• Turn off heat and measure out and reserve 1 cup cooking liquid, then cover pot again. Pour reserved liquid into a small bowl and add dried scallops. (Scallops should be completely submerged.) Soak until softened, about 30 minutes.
• While scallops are soaking, let chicken stand in cooking liquid, covered, 30 minutes. (Chicken will be cooked through.) Carefully remove chicken from liquid with tongs, then transfer chicken to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil. Discard cheesecloth bundle from cooking liquid, reserving liquid.
• Rinse long-grain and Chinese sticky rice briefly in a sieve, then add to pot with chicken-cooking liquid.
• Shred scallops into fine threads with a fork or your fingers, discarding tough muscle from side of each scallop if attached. Add scallop threads and scallop-soaking liquid to rice mixture and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until jook is very thick, about 1 hour.
• While rice is simmering, discard skin from chicken and remove meat in large pieces, then cut meat into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Cut reserved ginger into thin matchsticks and chop reserved scallion greens.
• Divide chicken among 6 serving bowls, then ladle jook over chicken. Sprinkle ginger and scallions over jook and serve with accompaniments.

BASIC CHICKEN BABY FOOD

Steps:

• Boil: In a medium saucepan, bring the cubed chicken, broth and parsley to a boil over medium heat.
• Simmer: Turn the heat down to low and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes or until chicken is just cooked through. Let cool slightly.
• Transfer: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to a blender or food processor, leaving the broth in the saucepan. Reserve the broth
• Puree: starting on low and working your way up to high-speed, puree the chicken until you reach your desired consistency, adding in broth in 1/4 cup increments if needed. I had to add in just 1/4 cup of broth to get the consistency seen in this photo.
• Eat: serve to baby plain or added into another puree.
• Freeze: store a small portion in the fridge and freeze the rest for another meal.
