Steamed Thai Chicken Bites with Pak Choi
These are both healthy and delicious!
They are not fried but steamed and served with steamed or boiled Chinese vegetables, and dipped in sweet chili sauce.
Preparation Time: 20 minutes plus 30 minutes chilling time
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Serves: 2
Ingredients
250 g chicken breast, chopped
1 clove garlic
Bit of ginger
2 spring onions
½ tbsp fish sauce
Small red chili, chopped
1 tbsp breadcrumbs
Small handful of coriander, chopped
Pak choi or similar Asian vegetable
1 - 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
Method
Put the chicken, garlic, ginger, spring onions, fish sauce, chili, breadcrumbs and coriander in a food processor and process to form a coarse paste.
Season well with salt and pepper.
Form into about 10 walnut sized balls, and put on a covered plate, and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Using a bamboo steamer or a double pot, as I did, put some baking paper on the bottom and lay the chicken bites on these and steam for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the pak choi for a minute or so till it starts to wilt slightly.
Serve the chicken bites with the pak choi, and some sweet chili sauce for dipping in the middle of the plate.
