Hen and Cabbage Simmered in Milk

It seems to be virtually like a stew, however I wouldn’t name it a stew as a result of the components will not be gradual cooked for a very long time, and the broth is just not thick both. It’s near a soup.

I used the recipe from the Japanese recipe referred to as 鶏胸肉と白菜のミルク煮. As a result of it was so tasty, I didn’t alter something besides that I adjusted the amount of seasoning to be extra particular and offered extra detailed directions.

Hen breast tends to turn out to be dry when cooked, however on this recipe the rooster items keep fairly moist. Coating the rooster with flour and evenly searing the floor earlier than simmering make all of the distinction.

The flavour of the milk broth comes from the butter and the principle components, with out utilizing dashi inventory or inventory cubes. However it’s surprisingly tasty.

5. I used sogi-giri methodology to slice the rooster, which retains the scale of the slices constant. It additionally makes the cooked rooster tender due to the way in which the fibres are lower. If the width of the halved rooster breast is simply too large, you possibly can slice it half lengthwise to make narrower items.

6. After 8 minutes, there ought to nonetheless be some water left within the pan. But when water is runs out, add some extra. In case you are utilizing common cabbage, you will want to prepare dinner it longer.

7. It retains 3-4 days within the fridge.
