薑蔥霸王雞 Steamed Chicken with Ginger and Scallion

薑蔥霸王雞係客家名菜，其實即係蔥油白切雞，
而薑蔥係廣東菜系人人愛既家常味道，同啖啖肉既雞相當夾，面且賣相得體，用黎招呼朋友好快就會成碟得返骨了

Steamed Chicken with Ginger and Scallion is a Hakka style dish but the use of ginger and scallion is a very Cantonese flavour so people in Hong Kong love this dish. Together with the presentable looking of the dish, it’s always a popular dish on table

啖啖肉又有香濃既薑蔥味，好正既薑蔥霸王雞!

A mouthful bite of chicken meat with the aromatic ginger and scallion, what a lovely dish!

材料有一隻雞(清洗好)，一塊薑同大量蔥，仲有蠔油同紹興

Ingredients include a whole chicken (rinsed), a chunk of ginger and lotsssss of scallion. For seasoning we have oyster sauce and Shaoxine wine

我地準備雞既醃料先，先將部份薑蔥切段再稍為拍爛

First we are going to prepare the marinade. Slice and crush some ginger and scallion

薑蔥撈埋適量既鹽

Add some salt and mix well

然後就將佢地塞落雞腔

Stuff the marinade into the inside of the chicken

再係表面塗抹適量鹽
成個醃既過程要考慮埋鹽稍後會同醬汁混和，所以注意份量唔洗太多

Put some salt onto the chicken
The marinade will later mix with the sauce, so don’t need to add to much salt here

由佢醃起碼一個鐘
我地用既鍋係日本 Vermicular琺瑯鑄鐵鍋22厘米

Let it marinade for an hour
The pot we used was Vermicular Oven Pot Round 22cm

將鍋放入蒸爐，100度蒸45分鐘
我地今次就用最傳統既蒸法，煮雞仲可以用到唔同既方法，例如無水蒸同慢煮，我地有機會都會試下，再同大家分享

Put the pot into steam oven. Set 100°C for 45 mins
We used the traditional way of steaming for this time. To make this dish we can also consider to us methods like waterless steaming or sous vide.

蒸緊雞既時候可以切定大量蔥絲同埋薑絲
今次D薑切左薑米，不過都係切絲效果好似好D

While steaming the chicken we can prepare the sliced scallion and ginger
We chopped the ginger for this time but turned out that sliced ginger should be better
