Preparation

Steam Rice
Boil whole chicken or chicken pieces with spices until cooked. Shred the flesh from the boiled chicken. Hard boil 2 eggs.

Heat the oil in a large fry-pan. Add finely chopped garlic and stir fry until golden brown but not burnt. Remove and set aside.

In the same oil, add the bamboo shoots, dried mushrooms and chopped ginger and cook for a few minutes. Then stir in the chicken flesh and salt to taste.

Spread the rice in a bowl, then place the chicken, mushroom and bamboo shoot mixture on top. Sprinkle with the fried garlic and chopped ginger leaf. Chop the hard boiled eggs and add to the plate then mix altogether with hands.

Cut banana leaves into equal squares. Wrap a single serving into packets with banana leaves. The leaves will add flavour to the rice.

Easy Chicken Recipe - Excellent website

I was watching Food Lovers Guide to Australia on the Asian Food Channel and was impressed with the relative ease of producing "Fortune Chicken" a dish I can eat locally here in Singapore . I googled the chef and found that it is an SBS programme. The web site is excellent thank you. Now I am super impressed with the fabulous recipes from all over. I'm hoping to use the site to master many of the local dishes that we love.

Hot Tips

Chocolate fondue

The traditional Swiss chocolate fondue was made with melted bars of Toblerone combined with cream. The honey and nougat in the Toblerone provides a beautiful flavour and texture.

Glossary

Thick Caramel Sauce

Thick Caramel Sauce is even more viscous than dark soy, this is used to add a depth of colour and flavour to many dishes. Surprisingly, despite its name, it is not sweet.
