八寶雞荷葉飯 8 Treasure Chicken Lotus Leaf Rice

Описание: This 8 treasure dish is often made with duck, but chicken hind quarter is also a really good choice to use here. This dish is labor intensive so is usually made during special occasions. It’s actually not hard to make, but it does require time and patience. This dish is truly a labor of love that you family and friends will enjoy.

The following are suggested ingredients that you may consider using in the rice instead of the ones I used in the video: lotus seeds, gingko nuts, raw peanuts, ground chicken/turkey, dried orange peel just to name a few. Feel free to use your favorite ingredients as long as they are hardy and won't fall apart during the 3 hour steaming process.

I developed this recipe by researching at least a couple dozen other similar recipes. Then I picked and chose the parts I like and used ingredients me and my family like and put it together. It is no accident I used the ingredients that I did. I encourage anyone using my recipe to do the same.

I feel recipes only provide you a guideline on the preparation procedures. They shouldn't dictate what you like or don't like to eat. Exploring and substituting your favorite ingredients to make any dish your own are some of the best ways to enjoy your food. There is no such thing as THE recipe to make any dish. Taste is one of the most subjective ideals that is entirely personal. For us foodies, it is all about the love and respect of food. We make up our own rules when it comes how we prepare our food and what we love to eat.
