Gà nướng chao combines chicken with soya cheese. The chicken is boned, spread with a sauce of mashed red soya cheese, oyster sauce, cooking wine and honey, then tied with bamboo string, marinated overnight and grilled. If you love both chicken and soya cheese, this one is for you. Plan ahead: the chicken marinates in the fridge for 1 night. Ingredients 300 g chicken meat 1 red soya cheese (chao), from Vietnamese markets 10 ml soya cheese water (nước chao) 15 ml cooking wine 5 ml honey 10 ml oyster sauce Spring onion, minced ginger Spices: salt, sugar, pepper, Maggi seasoning How to make gà nướng chao 1. Bone the chicken Cut the bones out of the chicken meat. 2. Make the sauce Mash the soya cheese well and mix it with the oyster sauce, soya cheese water, cooking wine and honey. 3. Spread and tie Spread the chicken out and pour the sauce over the centre. Keep a little sauce back in the bowl for marinating later. Tie the chicken up firmly with bamboo string. If you don’t have bamboo string, you can wrap the chicken in silver paper. 4. Marinate overnight Put the chicken into a plastic bag and pour in the rest of the sauce with the sliced spring onion and ginger. Put it in the fridge and leave it for 1 night. 5. Grill and slice The next day, grill the chicken at 200 degrees for 30–40 minutes. When it’s grilled, use a knife to cut it into round slices. Serve it with boiled rice or bánh mì, as a main meal or for a party. Share:
