English Recipe

 

1. 1 whole chicken roughly weight 1.3 kg  - I bought mine from the wet market - $8.50

2. Fine salt 1.5 tablespoon

3. Spring Onion 400 g that will be 4 packets from NTUC -$2.80.Can cut the spring onions into half.

4. Small red onions 6 pcs. Skin removed and sliced.

5. Shao Xing Wine 400 ml - in my opinion can reduce to 300ml. 1 bottle of shao xing wine 600ml costs $3.60.

 

Method

1. Rub the external and internal of chicken with salt. Rubbing longer at the meatier parts.

2. Place the spring onions on the bottom of rice cooker.  Add in the small red onions. Place chicken on top. Pour the shao xing wine on the chicken.

3. Cook for 40 minutes. Discard the spring onions and small onions. Cut and serve.

 

I recommend to flip the chicken over at 30 minutes and "colour" the other side of the chicken.

I used the full cycle of the rice cooker. The meat is still tender.

I also added some gouqizi to the chicken when cooking.

The stock is very strong flavoured, I have added 2 cups of water to dilute and boil it to become soup.
