Title: Review Whole Chinese chop chicken with chilli ginger sauce - Quirky Cooking pg 113
Post by: kmw on May 18, 2014, 10:23:32 am: Finally got to make my first recipe from the new Quirky Cooking book & decided to give the whole Chinese chicken a go seeing roast chicken was the plan for tonight.

Both DH & I loved it and found it a nice change to roast chicken. It's the first time I tried a whole chicken in TM & it cooked beautifully.

I didn't do the rice as when I went to get it from the pantry I realised I had none. So went with the veggies as noodles instead. If you were feeding a family you would need the rice but for 2 of us it was plenty.

The chilli ginger sauce rounds of the meal. I put a teaspoon of dried chilli flakes in (as I didn't have fresh) it the chilli flavour was mild & suited me.

We have enough chicken for DH lunch tomorrow, frozen 2 servings of the sauce, 600 ml stock left & veggies used in the stock ... so definitely get a lot out of it.

On the list to make again and great alternative to roast chicken.(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/18/9asybaby.jpg)

Your veggies look great.
How did you prepare your carrot?
It looks delicate and nice.

I did the carrots with a spiral slicer, sometimes I just peel them with a veggie peeler to get thin strips.

I loved the fact that I had a beautiful stock at the end as well ( I used it to make the Lemon Chicken soup - my favourite at the moment). My husband in particular loved the sauce. Will make again.
