Black Bone Chicken Soup (Engl)

Chinese doctors praise this soup as being one of the most therapeutic foods you can eat in the fall and winter to strengthen the immune system.

Ingredients:

Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis) 6 grams,
Huang Qi (Astralagus)10 grams,
Dang Shen (“Red ginseng”) 6 grams,
Gou Ji Zi (Wolfberries) 6 grams,
Gao Liang Jiang (Chinese ginger)3 grams,
Chen Pi (Aged Tangerine peel) 3grams,
White peppercorns 3 grams,
Fresh ginger 6 grams, (about 10 slices fresh ginger, the size of a quarter, smashed with the flat side of a knife)
Fresh scallion 10 whole scallions, ends trimmed and smashed lightly with the flat side of a knife
Sea salt to taste

4 cups good quality, low salt chicken broth
2 cups water
1 ¾ cups good quality Shaoxing wine or dry sherry

1.Remove any fat from around the cavity opening and around the neck of the chicken. Rinse lightly and drain. Using a heavy knife or cleaver, cut the chicken, through the bones, into 10 to 12 pieces. Heat 2 quarts of water until boiling and blanch the chicken pieces for 1 minute to clean them. Drain the chicken, discarding the water, then rinse in cold water and drain again.
2. Place the chicken pieces and the Soup Broth ingredients, except the salt, in a heat-proof pot or 2-quart souffle dish. Cover tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil and place on a steamer tray or small rack. Fill a wok with enough water to just
reach the bottom of the steamer tray or rack and heat until boiling. Place the food on the steamer tray or rack over the boiling water, cover, and steam 2 hours over high heat, replacing the boiling water in the wok as necessary. Alternatively, you may steam the soup in the oven: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the ingredients in a Dutch oven or casserole with a lid and, before putting on the cover, wrap the top with heavy-duty aluminum foil; then cover. Place the pot in a lasagne pan or a casserole and fill with 1 1/2 inches of boiling water. Bake for 2 hours, replenishing the boiling water as needed.
3. Skim the top of the broth to remove any impurities and fat. Add the salt. Remove the ginger and scallions, ladle the soup and pieces of chicken into serving bowls, and serve. To reheat and retain a clear broth, steam or bake in a closed pot for
10-15 minutes, or until piping hot.

•3 parsnips, quartered
•3 carrots, quartered
•2 ribs celery, quartered
•2-3 cups of vegetable stock
•1 cup apple cider
•1/2 tsp sea salt
•1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper

How to:

Prepare the Seitan

1.Prepare a large covered dish for the seitan, filling it with 4 cups of the vegetable stock
2.Combine vital wheat gluten with the almond meal, chopped garlic, sea salt and black pepper. Stir to combine. In a measuring cup or small bowl, whisk 1-1/2 cups of the vegetable stock and olive oil together. Pour the wet mixture slowly over the dry and stir to form a wet dough
3.Scoop the dough out onto a clean surface and pat into a rectangle roughly 8 x 12". Cover with a length of double thick cheesecloth, leaving a generous overhang of 5-6" on each end. Beginning at the end furthest away from you, begin to loosely roll the rectangle toward you, covering the exposed seitan with the extra cheesecloth as you go
4.Place the fully wrapped roulade in the vegetable stock and cover the dish. Bake covered for 1-1/2 hours. Remove from oven and allow the roulade to cool completely in the dish for several hours. Do not discard the broth

Make the Stuffing

1.Cook the rice in 3 cups of water
2.In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat
3.Add the shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened
4.Add garlic and cook until golden brown. Add celery, stirring for a minute to soften slightly
5.Scoop the cooked rice into the skillet and add the figs, bread crumbs, almond meal and stock. Stir to combine and heat through, 4-5 minutes. Remove the heat, add in parsley and season with salt and pepper


Prepare the Stock

1.Remove the roulade from its cooking pot and set aside. Combine all above ingredients with the remaining stock in the pot and stir

To Assemble

1.Unroll the seitan and remove its cheesecloth
2.Gently flatten the seitan on a clean surface and spread with the stuffing
3.Use a lightly oiled hand to press the stuffing flat against the seitan
4.Loosely re-roll the seitan, carefully pressing the stuffing in if it falls out. Once fully rolled, re-wrap the roulade in a slightly loose cheesecloth. You may also choose to tie the roll with kitchen twine, but leave some room for the seitan to expand as it cooks
5.Place the wrapped roll back in the pot, arranging the vegetables around it and adding any additional stock to ensure that the liquid covers at least half of the roulade
6.Bake covered for 1-1/2-2 hours, turning halfway through

To Serve

1.Lift the roulade out, unwrap the cheesecloth and cut in 1/2" slicesThe vegetables may be served as is alongside the roulade or puree them with some of the stock to make a simple sauce that is good with the roulade or with an accompaniment of mashed potatoes

Note on Ingredients

•Vital wheat gluten can be found in many stores, often in the baking section, or check the bulk section of health food stores for a less expensive option
•Almond meal, sometimes called almond flour, can be purchased pre-made or you can make your own by simply toasting raw almonds lightly for 10 minutes in a 350 degree oven, allowing them to cool completely and then processing into a fine powder
