Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups mushroom soy sauce
3 cups mei kuei lu chiew or any floral off-dry white wine, like gewurztraminer or muscat
2 star anise
1 14-ounce box yellow rock sugar, crushed, or 1 cup white sugar
3 ounces ginger, cut into slices and bruised with side of knife
10 scallions
1 chicken, 2 1/2 to 3 pounds

Steps:

  • In stockpot or narrow 6-quart pot, combine soy sauce, rice wine, 2 cups water, star anise, sugar and ginger. Bring to rolling boil. Add 6 scallions. Lower chicken gently and slowly into liquid, breast side down.
  • Bring back to boil, and cook steadily for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, and turn chicken over. Let sit in hot liquid 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, trim and mince remaining scallions and preheat oven to 500 degrees.
  • Carefully remove chicken from liquid, and put in skillet or roasting pan. Roast 5 minutes, or until nicely browned; keep an eye on it -- it can burn easily. Meanwhile, reheat liquid. When chicken is ready, carve and serve with a few spoonfuls of sauce over it. Put minced scallions into a cup of sauce; pass at table to go over white rice.

This soy-poached roast chicken is a game-changer! The chicken was incredibly tender and flavorful, with a beautiful golden-brown skin. The poaching liquid infused the chicken with so much umami, and the scallion-ginger sauce was the perfect finishing
