Asian inspired chicken with steamed buns
I learned this from uncle Jamie Oliver :)
For the Coconut Buns1 x 400g tin of coconut milk2 coconut milk tins (500g) of self raising flour, plus extra for dusting
For the Chicken, pickle & garnishes2 x 200g skinless chicken breasts140g mixed mushrooms3 tbsp hoi sin sauce, plus extra to serve2 limes200g tenderstem broccoli1 cucumber1 Tbsp soy sauce1 Tbsp rice or white wine vinegar½ a bunch of fresh coriander3 Tbsp sesame seedsPickled ginger1 – 2 fresh red chilies
[*]Pour the coconut milk into a food processor with 2 heaped tins worth of self-raising flour and a good pinch of salt, whiz to a dough, then tip on to a flour dusted work surface. Roll the dough into a sausage shape, cut into 8 even sized pieces, then place each one into a double-layered muffin case, and squeeze those into one layer of the steamer. Pour 5 cm of boiling water into a large wok or on top of a medium saucepan. Put the basket of buns on top with the lid on and leave to steam hard.
[*]Cut the chicken into 1cm strips and toss in a bowl with the roughly torn mushrooms, hoi sin sauce, juice of ½ lime and a pinch of salt. Mix with your hands.
[*]Tip the chicken and mushroom mixture into the second steamer basket along with the trimmed broccoli and pop underneath the tray of buns for 5 minutes until cooked through.
[*]Peel the cucumber into ribbons (I used a vegetable peeler), toss into a bowl with the soy sauce, vinegar and a few torn coriander leaves, then with clean hands squeeze and scrunch everything together to make a pickle.
[*]Toast the sesame seeds in the frying pan on a low heat until golden, then tip into a little bowl, cut the remaining 1 ½ limes into wedges, and serve with the pickled ginger and extra hoi sin sauce in little bowls.
[*]Serve the buns and chicken in the steamer trays, scattering everything with the remaining coriander leaver and finely sliced chilli.
