Jiao Ma Ji
Jiao ma ji is a chilled Chinese chicken dish dressed with the numbing fragrance of Sichuan pepper and scallion oil. Tender poached chicken is torn or sliced, tossed with cucumber and herbs, then coated in a glossy sauce that balances sesame, soy, vinegar, chile, and green peppercorn aroma.
π Recipe adapted from Wikidata (Dish)
Poach the chicken gently until cooked through, then cool it in its broth so it stays juicy.
Slice or tear the cooled chicken into bite-size strips and place it over julienned cucumber.
Stir together soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, chile oil, Sichuan pepper oil, garlic, sugar, and a spoonful of chicken broth.
Fold the sauce through the chicken until the pieces are glossy and aromatic.
Top with scallions and cilantro and serve chilled or at room temperature.
