Binalot: Chicken Kagikit Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 kg chicken breast
• 1 large onion, minced
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 thumb size ginger, minced
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp fish sauce
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• Rice cooked with pandan

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Cook the chicken in plain boiling water. Once cooked, remove from water and set aside to cool. Once cooled, shred the chicken into very small mince – use a food processor if needed. Set aside.
2. In a large pan, heat oil under medium to high heat. Cook onions, garlic and ginger until brown but not burnt.
3. Add shredded chicken, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Cook until the liquid has dried and the chicken is almost sticking to the bottom of the pan.

To assemble

1. For the leaves to become pliable and easier to use as wrappers, place banana leaves over an open fire and pass through the flame. The leaves are ready to be removed from the fire once they change colour and become shinier. Don’t leave for too long as it will burn the leaves.
2. Place the banana leaf on a flat surface.
3. Add 2 tbsp of cooked rice in the middle.
4. Create a “groove” in the middle of the rice by tracking your finger along the middle section.
5. Add a few spoonfulls of the cooked chicken kagikit 
6. Fold 1/3 of the leaf over the rice and chicken.
7. Fold both ends of the leaf, and “roll” again until the leaf has fully covered the rice.
8. Cut a few thin strips of banana leaf, and use as string to tie and secure around the banana leaf.
9. Place on top of the BBQ for a few minutes until the banana leaves have browned, remove from heat. Open the parcel and serve warm
