Chicken Bak Kwa

Instructions:

IngredientAmount
Chicken thigh, minced
1kg
Sugar
70g
Oyster sauce
1 tablespoon
Dark soy sauce (Healthier Choice Symbol), savoury
½ tablespoon
Light soy sauce (Healthier Choice Symbol)
2 tablespoons
Sesame oil
1 teaspoon
Five-spice powder
1 teaspoon
Ground white pepper
½ teaspoon
Coriander powder
1 teaspoon
Honey
2 tablespoons
Water
2 tablespoons
White sesame seed
1 tablespoon
  1. Pre-heat oven at 150°C.
  2. Mix the honey with water and set aside.
  3. Mix all the ingredients (except honey water and white sesame seed) thoroughly in a big bowl. Blend them in one direction with spatula, and until the mixture turn gooey.
  4. Marinate for at least 4 hours (or refrigerate overnight).
  5. Place a large piece of parchment paper on a flat surface and add ¼ (fist size) of the marinated meat mixture onto it.
  6. Place another piece of parchment paper on top of the mixture and roll it flat with a rolling pin until it is 2-3mm thick. Remove the top parchment paper and shape the mixture into an even rectangle.
  7. Transfer the mixture (together with the parchment paper on the bottom) onto a large baking tray and bake the mixture in oven at 150°C for 15 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven. Brush a layer of honey on the meat and sprinkle some white sesame seeds. Bake in oven at 200°C for another 5 minutes.
  9. Repeat step 8 for the other side.
  10. Use a scissors or pizza cutter to cut the bak kwa into pieces. Then, it’s ready to serve.

Cooking tips:

  • Blend meat mixture till gooey, but do not over blend as it will affect the texture.
  • Constantly check the oven to adjust timing and temperature, to prevent over baking, especially after brushing with honey.
