Steps
- For the Jasmine Tea Smoked Chicken, place a frypan over medium heat. Add spices and toast until fragrant. Transfer to a spice grinder, with salt and grind to a powder.
- Rub the entire chicken generously with 2 tablespoons spice rub.
- Place a wok over medium heat. Place a rack inside and add enough water until reaches just below the rack. Bring to a simmer then place chicken onto the rack and cover wok with a lid. Allow the chicken to steam for approximately 40 minutes (this will vary depending on the size of the chicken). Top up water as required.
- For the Sauce, place ingredients into a large bowl and mix well. Set aside.
- Remove chicken from wok and place onto a large plate. Brush generously with the Sauce and set aside.
- Empty wok and wipe dry. Line base of wok with foil. Add rice, sugar and tea. Place over high heat and once mixture begins to smoke, place a rack over the top. Place the steamed chicken on top and cover with a lid. Smoke the chicken for 15-20 minutes and the thickest part of the chicken reaches 75oC. Transfer chicken to a clean board, cover loosely with foil to rest before carving.
- For the Cucumber Pickle, place water, vinegar, sugar and salt into a saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and add the spices. Set aside to cool.
- Add cucumber and place in the fridge until required. Drain well to serve.
- For the San Choy Bow, dice ingredients into small cubes. Heat oil in a frypan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and carrot and sauté until just tender. Transfer to a bowl and add radish and bamboo shoots. Add the drained pickled cucumber and toss gently together. Spoon into lettuce leaves.
- To serve, cut chicken into portions and arrange on banana leaves. Serve with San Choy Bow on the side.
