Stir-Fried Pigeon Breast with Broccoli

Learn how to make stir-fried pigeon breast with Chinese broccoli, a savory dish featuring tender squab, crisp greens, and aromatic seasonings.

Ingredients

1 pigeon, 200 g (about 7 oz) Chinese broccoli, and carrot flowers to taste.

Seasonings

Garlic, ginger, salt, MSG, cooking wine, oyster sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and water starch, each to taste.

Instructions

1. Cut the Chinese broccoli into sections, score a crosshatch pattern twice on each piece, then soak in water until they curl up; remove the meat from the squab, trim off any fat, and slice into breast fillets, season with salt and MSG, then stir-fry briefly and arrange on a plate; cook the squab breast fillets in oil heated to about 140°C (284°F) until just done.

Splash in cooking wine, oyster sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and a cornstarch slurry. Finish with a drizzle of oil for shine, then pour over the blanched Chinese broccoli stems to serve.
