Sarawakian Local Delights : Chicken stir fried with Tapioca Leaves
A typical dish in a longhouse is stir fried chicken with tapioca leaves.
Chickens are quite readily available as a source of protein in the longhouse. So when guests turn up a chicken is quickly slaughtered to welcome them. However the chicken, after having been killed must pass the ring of fire, to scorch the skin to get rid of the small downs. This process also makes the meat more flavourfull. It could also mean that the meat is also sanitized.
The chicken is then cut into small pieces and sauted in a big pan with lots of ginger. When the meat is cooked, a few cups of shredded tapioca leaves are added to the chicken. After simmering for more than 30 minutes, the dish is ready to be served.
Salt,sugar, pepper, chillies and may be even mushrooms can be added to this dish.
