Ingredients

SCALLION WONTON NOODLE CAKE

FRIED WONTON NOODLE GARNISH

Directions

  1. In a hot stockpot coated with oil, brown seasoned chicken and set aside. Wipe out pot leaving only a little fat. Saute ginger, black beans, chiles and garlic for about 5 minutes. Add onions, carrots and celery. Season. Deglaze with wines and add back the chicken. Add the bay leaves, thyme and soy sauce and check for seasoning. Add water if necessary and bring to a slow boil. Simmer for 2 hours until chicken is practically falling off of the bone. For the last 10 minutes of cooking, add the bok choy. On a large platter, place coq au vin on top of a large noodle cake. Garnish with scallions.
  2. In a large bowl, mix noodles with scallions, peppers and sesame seed oil. In a hot non-stick saute pan, coat well with oil and add noodles to pan, flattening them into a thick pancake. It is imperative that the pan is hot. Season with salt and pepper. When a brown crust is formed, carefully flip pancake and season this side. Pancake is ready when both sides are brown and the middle is hot.
  3. In a shallow pan with 370 degree canola oil, fry clusters of wonton noodles until golden and crisp.
