Tea-Smoked Game Hen Preparation
Date: Fri, 24 May 96 07:16:44 PDT From: eboyd@shentel.net Cut the bird in half, using poultry shears or a Chinese cleaver. Rub the halves with salt and pepper, wine and sesame oil. Allow to marinate for 2 hours. Dip the halves into boiling water for 1 minute. Remove and place on a rack for drying. Smoke the halves in a Cameron stove-top smoker for 15 minutes, using the tea leaves and the alder or hickory sawdust. Place the halves on a plate and steam in a bamboo steamer for 20 minutes. Allow the pieces to cook, then deep-fry in hot peanut oil at 375 degrees until golden brown and crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes. This recipe serves 3 to 4 as part of a Chinese meal. Comments: The game hen is a relatively recent bird, a development of modern agricultural science. However, in old China similar birds were common and this method of cooking remains a classic.
