Diced Chicken and Carrot with Sweet Fermented Flour Paste


© 2022 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com


“Sweet Fermented Flour Paste” (or Tian Mian Jiang in Chinese) is a savory runny paste with salty sweetness made from flour and flour through fermentation. It is an ideal fix for stir-fry dishes, and a dipping for Peking duck. It’s not made from soya bean, and it’s not the same as hoisin sauce or plum sauce. It’s a traditional sauce used in northern Chinese cuisine while hoisin often seen in Cantonese or other southern kitchens and used as a substitute to serve with Peking Duck.

Sauce
  • 200 g Chicken breast
  • 1/2 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1/2 tbsp Water
  • Pinch of salt
  • 400 g Carrots
  • Frying oil
  • 1/2 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 2/3 tbsp Sweet fermented flour paste
  • 1/3 tbsp Light soya sauce
  • 1/2 tbsp Jiafan rice wine
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2/3 tbsp Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Chicken bouillon
  1. Clean the chicken breast and pat it dry with kitchen towel. Cut them into 1-inch dices. Marinate chicken dices with cornstarch solution and salt for 30 minutes. Rinse the carrots and cut into 1-inch dices too.
  2. In a small bowl, combine all ingredients for the sauce. Set aside. Deep-fry diced carrots for about 5-8 minutes until cooked. Pour all but a tablespoon of oil in the skillet. Add in marinated chicken and stir until tender.
  3. Remove chicken and add in sesame oil in a skillet, add in the sauce and stir until thickens. Return the carrots and chickens, stir until thoroughly heated.

This sounds delicious but never heard of Jiafan rice wine. Can it be substituted by something else?

@Dajana
In Koeln city center, there's a relative large Chinese store "Far East" offers many different kinds of dressings, marinades and sauces. Some of them I have never even heard of before.
@Ivy, Reeni,
You can use Half-dry sherry wine instead of Chinese Jiafan rice wine.
@pigpigscorner
Nice to see you back from the honeymoon.
