Does anyone know where I can find good recipes for any kind of chinese food? not necessarily limited to cantonese.I want to find recipes for real chinese food not the fake american stuff.?
This is a very traditional old Cantonese recipe, nowadays, you hardly can find it on the menu of most modern Chinese restaurants in Hong Kong. I like it very much when I was a kid, you can replace the chicken to porkchop (I actually like the porkchop one more).

500 g chicken thighs, cut into 12 slices

12 Chinese pea pods

2 stalks of fresh corriandor leaves, finely chopped (optional)

4 tablespoons of shredded green onions

2 tablespoon of ginger root

12 5-6 inches square sheets of cellophane paper or baking paper

oil for frying or you can bake it



Marinade

1 tablespoon light soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1 tablespoon cooking wine / sherry

1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon sesame oil

a dash of white or black pepper



1) Mix marinade ingredient in a bowl, stir well, marinate chicken slices for at least 20 minutes, set aside



2) Place a slice of chicken on a sheet of cellophane paper, place 1 Chinese pea pod, a portion of shredded green onion and shredded ginger root on top of the chicken. Wrap to form a rectangulalr packet. (Seal with stapler, I'm lazy - or a toothpick) Repeat until all packets are formed.



3) Heat oil over medium heat; test the oil with bamboo chopstick, when you see the bubble sticking on the chopstick, it means the oil is hot enough, deep fry the paper-wrapped chicken over medium heat for a 3 minutes or till golden, the oil temp. should not be higher than 160 degree C, or else, it would cause cancer.



4) When the packets rise to the surface, use a slotted spoos to press them to the bottom of the fryer, wok to release any oil that is inside the packets. Remove the packets to a tray for a while, let the oil dip for a moment.



5) Then serve on serving plate. (while unwrapping the paper and smelling the aroma of the food, I feel heavenly good!)



You may add shredded shitake mushroom (boiled) or red chili instead of Chinese green pea pods.



Baking is more healthy, just pre-heat oven 180 degree C before you prepare the meat, bake for around 30 - 40 minutes.
