Chicken Meat Floss 鸡肉丝~~欢喜过马年


The other day, I saw a method of making meat floss published in a newspaper. Since the steps sound simple, so I also quickly try it out..




At first, i tried with pork meat floss, but the taste was bland due to i added too much of water. So the next day I tried with chicken meat, reduced water and adjusted seasonings, then it taste better this time. But I still feel the taste can be improved further to stronger taste..Anyway, I prefer the texture of pork floss more than chicken floss
 
 
Meat floss is versatile, can be enjoy with porridge, stuff with sandwich, bread's filling and etc..I saw some people even using those leftover pork meat from the soup (most people usually drink soup but not eating the meat) to make this meat floss too. Anyway, store bought meat floss still taste nicer (it is more fluffy than homemade), but homemade meat floss is safe to consume, because we know what ingredients used.



Chicken Meat Floss 鸡肉丝 

500g chicken breast, cut into 2-3” size
500ml water
1 and 1/2tsbp light soy sauce
1/2tsp dark soy sauce
1tbsp fish sauce
 
1/2tbsp oyster sauce
1tsp salt
100g rock sugar
4 cloves 

Method

  1. Cook all ingredients in a pot, cook over low medium heat for 30mins. Change heat to high, cook for about 15mins till sauce reduced and meat tendered. (If you make pork floss, you need to extend the cooking time).
  2. Immediately transfer the cooked meat into a mixer, run low speed to separate the meat.
  3. Transfer meat in a clean wok, stir fry from time to time over low heat, take about 20mins, till chicken floss dry out.
  4. Store in the container, if you intend to keep longer time, prefer store in the fridge.
Method followed as seen in the newspaper, re-adjust the seasonings, recipe by Sonia aka Nasi Lemak Lover

Kudos for making this, indeed it's better to eat some homemade once. My sister once told me that it's quite an effort on the stir fry to dry part, arm breaking was her comment :))

daphne said...

Oh wow! Never thought it is that easy... And now we know what it we use to make healthy version too. Nicely done Sonia.

I'm wondering if you cook the meat in a crock pot and reduced the liquids if it would be more tender. I make bbq pulled pork in the crock pot and meat flakes off beautifully. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I always enjoy your blog and look forward to your new postings.

Hi Sonia, i just bought a pack of chicken meat floss yesterday. I never thought of making chicken meat floss, cuz i feel it would be difficult to make. But your recipe look easy and simple, next time j would like to have my homemade chicken meat floss ;))

Joceline Lor said...

Sonia, u are perfect!

agatha said...

I tried the pork version and somehow does not get the fluffy pork floss, the texture is rather hard. Any master here to advice how to make the floss has fluffy texture?

geraldine_lc81 said...

I would like to try this some day... thanks sonia... you are a great cook indeed. FYI, I saw a lot of ppl fry this using bread maker with jam function. it should be easier...

Ashling said...

Could you maybe show us how to make those lovely Chicken Floss buns that are found in chinese bakeries ???

lena said...

hey, i didnt know that the mixer can be used to ' shred' the meat! so much convenient than using our hands!

ice-ayrez said...

hi, on the first and second day of CNY i have 2 whole steamed chickens that normally appear on my dining table every meal for few days. I was thinking whether i can make chicken floss out of it. Can i just follow your steps or any steps i can omit?
