Wok Tea-Smoked Chicken
@katlieu Did you know you can turn any wok into a smoker, and you can smoke any protein without a grill or smoker! Just be sure to do this outdoors unless you want your house to smell like the Fourth of July. First make a delicious smoke blend with just rice, sugar, and tea leaves. I also added spices and cocoa powder. Add the blend to a wok, then after you cook your proteins, smoke them in the wok, kinda like steaming food but without water, for the best smoky flavor because… The full recipe is in the cookbook Modern Asian Kitchen, page 114 Spice blend recipe: ¼ cup tea leaves (any) or barley tea ¼ cup granulated sugar (or rock sugar) 3 tablespoons uncooked rice 2 star anise 1 tablespoon cocoa powder A few Sichuan peppercorns, crushed Mix together all the ingredients and make a pouch for the blend with aluminum foil. (Use two layers of foil.) Instead of my marinade sauce, you can use BBQ sauce. Fully cook the protein first, then smoke in a wok over medium heat for 5 minutes on each side, over medium-low heat. *hand emoji* *star eyes emoji* and *peace sign emoji* If using a bamboo steamer, soak the steamer thoroughly in water first, for about 15-30 minutes, like you would soak bamboo skewers before BBQ/grilling.
