Ginger And Garlic Sauce


2009 is ending in three days time and i have made a promise of a good thing and i better keep my promise.  A promise is a promise and whether it is a good thing to others or not, it is a good thing to me, not in the healthy sense(i am not going into this subject about saturated fat - Eat you Die, you do not eat you die, so????) but good in the sense that it aids my cooking when time is the essence.  I love this sauce, a bottle of it is in the fridge, ready for Hainanese Chicken Rice and whatever dishes that have ginger and garlic in the recipe.  A tablespoon is surfficed for 3 cups of rice and 1 teaspoon will do for Steaming a piece of fish - 1/2 lb steak or fillet.

For Rendered Chicken Fat,  the fat on the chicken has to be accumulated and frozen everytime you cut up a whole chicken.  As soon as you have a sandwich bag full of chicken fat, it is time to render.  Put them in large corningware with a lid and microwave on high until the fat has rendered.




Ingredients:























1 1/2 cups Rendered Chicken Fat
4 ozs/113 g ginger - peeled
5 ozs/150 gm garlic - peeled
6 tsp salt
6 tsp Knorrs Chicken Broth Mix/chicken granules/cubes

Method:

Using the food processor, process the ginger and garlic into a paste.

Pour into a large bowl which is microwave-safe, add in the rendered chicken fat and microwave on high for 3 minutes, one minute at a time and stir.

Add in salt and Knorrs Chicken Broth Mix.

Cool before bottling and keep in the fridge.

  5. Lily, it is indeed a good recipe as it tasted so good. I have not tasted chicken rice with ginger sauce for ages as Penang chicken rice sellers don't supply it only in Ipoh. Thank you so much. Happy New Year and happy cooking.

  13. Hi Lily, can I ask how to make the rendered chicken fat?

  14. ah sin

    as i have mentioned in my text - Put them in large corningware with a lid and microwave on high untithe fat has rendered. Depemding on the amount of fat, stirring the fat after every intervals.

    you can render in a wok or pot over the stovetop but you would have to stir as the fat renders.

    just use cooking oil, it will be fine although some flavor and color will be sacrificed
