When I first heard about homemade chicken powder, I was very curious about what it was. I wonder how they make it. I only knew store bought chicken broth and Knorr's brand chicken cubes. That's all.
I used to make the chicken broth by using chicken bones and vegetables boiled for a few hours, then set it in the freezer. But this will take up a lot of space in my freezer. Then I bought this self-proclaimed homemade chicken powder at 100g for RM35. I found it is very useful and it makes my cooking and life more easier. I stop purchasing it after a few bad rumors.
Later on, I got a secret recipe from one of the groups that I joined (Krystal Wee's group). She is too kind to shared me her secret chicken powder recipe. Yes, I used her recipe to made it but the taste did not suit me much. Maybe I used the wrong method and wrong temperature. Since it is a secret recipe, if I can make the exactly like the original taste, that means everyone else can make it too. I really want to thank Krystal mummy for sharing with me her secret recipe. (✿◠‿◠)
Then my hubby came to rescue (ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ♥! He bought me my TM! The first thing in my mind was my homemade chicken powder! Ok, let me praise my hubby a bit here (✿◠‿◠) He is so kind to buy me the TM when I told him my problem and how useful the TM can help me in my cooking skills. And here comes my homemade chicken powder recipe!
Homemade Chicken powder
Recipe source from : TM website
What you need:-
- 300g chicken breast without skin
- 70g onion (I used red onion)
- 60g leek (white part only)
- 70g garlic
- 10 pcs coriander seeds
- 2 cloves (I added in)
- 1 tbsp parsley (I used more than 1 tbsp fresh parsley)
Seasoning
-120g sea salt (I used 1/2 tsp sea salt)
- 50g rice wine (I omitted)
Method:-
1) Place all the ingredients into TM bowl to chop. MC/10 secs/Speed 7
2) Add in the sea salt and rice wine to cook. 25 mins/V/Speed 2
3) Blend the mixture. MC/10 secs/Speed 7
4) Place on tray and bake in oven for 25-30 mins at 150c (I baked at 150c for 30-40 mins and I am using BAF)
5) Place mixture into TM bowl to mill. MC/30 secs/Speed 10
You can see my fresh parsley. They are more than 1 tbsp LOL!! When they are in the oven, my house would smell heavenly especially with the smell of the fresh parsley. I cannot wait to try it out.
Before baking its looks like a paste. After baking it will look like a powder form. I will try again by adding the rice wine next time.
You can mill it more fine by grinding it in longest time. I had no regret to use 1/2 tsp of sea salt instead of 120g because I think it is too much since the ingredients I used are all so fragrant and when I tasted it, it is really like heaven. Since my kids are taking this powder too so I omit the rice wine.
I cannot believe that I can make homemade chicken powder!
I just tried it out to marinate my pork and I will let you know the outcome.
I had weigh how much I can get by using 300g of chicken breast. I made 185g of homemade chicken powder. Outside is selling 100g for RM35.00. So you can imagine how much I bought the ingredients for. Cheap right, just that it's a bit time consuming.
You can use this homemade chicken powder for instant soup, marination, stir-fried vegetable or porridge.
Now my kids can have a safe 'ajinomoto' for their daily meal. Mummy knows what are the ingredients used, so I do not need to worry here and there what others sellers are using.
