RECIPE (SERVES 2)
INGREDIENTS:
75G KOREAN OR JAPANESE SHORT GRAIN RICE
25G SPROUTED KOREAN MIXED RICE (IF YOU CAN’T GET HOLD OF THIS JUST INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF SHORT GRAIN RICE TO 100G)
2 SMALL FREE-RANGE CHICKENS (POUSSINS)
A FEW SMALL GINSENG ROOTS
5 GINKGO BEANS (OPTIONAL)
A FEW JUJUBES (KOREAN OR CHINESE DATES)
A FEW SLICES OF FRESH ROOT GINGER, PEELED
6 GARLIC CLOVES
500ML WHITE CHICKEN STOCK
500ML WATER
6 SPRING ONIONS, PLUS 2 VERY THINLY SLICED SPRING ONIONS (GREEN PARTS ONLY)
KIMCHI (CHECK OUT OUR KIMICHI VIDEO ON THE CHANNEL)
SALT FOR SEASONING

TO SERVE
FOR THE DIPPING SALT:
1 TEASPOON SALT
1/4 TEASPOON WHITE PEPPER
PINCH OF CASTER SUGAR

METHOD
SOAK BOTH TYPES OF RICE IN A BOWL OF WATER FOR 1 HOUR.

STRAIN THE RICE AND STUFF EACH CHICKEN WITH HALF THE RICE, A GINSENG ROOT, A GINKGO BEAN, A JUJUBE, A SLICE OF GINGER AND 2 GARLIC CLOVES. POP THE STUFFED CHICKENS INTO A LARGE CAST-IRON CASSEROLE DISH. POUR OVER THE STOCK AND MEASUREMENT WATER, AND THEN ADD THE REMAINING AROMATICS AND THE WHOLE SPRING ONIONS TO THE CASSEROLE.

SIMMER OVER A MEDIUM HEAT FOR 40–50 MINUTES, OR UNTIL COOKED THROUGH. THE CHICKENS DON’T HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY IMMERSED IN LIQUID AS YOU ARE BRAISING THEM AND YOU WANT THE SOUP TO REDUCE A LITTLE SO THAT IT BECOMES RICHLY FLAVOURED BY THE END OF THE COOKING TIME. WHEN COOKED PROPERLY, THE CHICKEN CAN BE EASILY PULLED APART BY CHOPSTICKS. MEANWHILE, MAKE THE DIPPING SALT BY MIXING TOGETHER ALL THE INGREDIENTS IN A SMALL SERVING BOWL OR DIPPING BOWL. ADD HALF THE DIPPING SALT TO THE SOUP AND STIR.

TRANSFER A CHICKEN TO EACH SERVING BOWL, LADLE OVER THE SOUP AND FINISH BY SPRINKLING OVER THE SLICED SPRING ONIONS. I LIKE TO DIP THE CHICKEN INTO THE DIPPING SALT AND SERVE THE KIMCHI IN A SMALL BOWL ALONGSIDE THE SOUP.
