Peking Chicken Appetiser

Submitted by John J. OSullivan

"I saw this on "Pantry Raid" this morning. It looks like a nice simple way to reuse some of that rotisserie chicken left over from the night previous. The result looks elegant...the prep looks ridiculously easy."

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 8-10 appetisers

ingredients

• 2 cups chopped dark chicken meat
• 1 cucumber
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1⁄4 cup peanuts (optional for those with peanut allergies)
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 bunch scallion

directions

1. Chop the white part of scallions, then slice the green part into long, thin slices along the bias; place the green strips in ice water so they curl up.
2. Combine chopped chicken with whites of scallions; add soy sauce, ginger and hoisin sauce and mix well.
3. Wash cucumber and peel off stripes of skin; slice into rounds and spoon chicken mixture on top.
4. Garnish with crushed peanuts and scallion curls.
