Hand-Shredded White-Cut Chicken

Ingredients

Dried small shiitake mushrooms, a fat hen, and fresh cilantro, all to taste.

Seasonings

To taste: ginger slices, salt, sugar, and chicken fat.

Instructions

1. Soak the small dried shiitake mushrooms in advance until softened; wash the chicken clean.

2. Place the chicken, shiitake mushrooms, and a few slices of ginger in a pressure cooker; once it reaches pressure, cook for 15–20 minutes. Slowly render the chicken fat with ginger slices over low heat, then pour the oil into a bowl. Once cooled, add salt and a pinch of sugar, stir well, and refrigerate until chilled and ready to use.

3. Once the chicken is cooked, let it cool, then tear the meat into small pieces by hand. Pour the cooled chicken fat over the chicken, toss to combine, and serve.
