I've had this recipe for so long that I was too young to make a note about its origins. I know two things about it, however; it came from a magazine (like Women's Day - I didn't mind cutting the recipe out and taping it to a recipe card along along with the photo!) and it fed my early passion for cooking! Serve with lemon and lime wedges. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil |
3 lbs roasting chickens, cut into 8 pieces |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon turmeric |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper |
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom |
2 cups onions, chopped |
6 medium garlic cloves, crushed |
1 1/2 cups chicken broth |
1/2 cup cream of coconut |
1 (8 ounce) package cellophane noodles |
4 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons water |
1 lb bok choy, trimmed, cut into 3-inch pieces |
1 cup flaked coconut, toasted |
1 cup salted peanuts |
1 lemon, cut into wedges |
1 lime, cut into wedges |
Directions:
1. Heat oil over medium-high heat in large skillet.
2. In batches, brown chicken on all sides, about 10 minutes; remove to platter. After saving 2 tablespoons drippings, discard the remaining.

4. Add onion and garlic; cook, covered, about 10 minutes.

6. Add chicken; simmer, covered, until tender, about 45 minutes.

9. In same pan, in 1 inch boiling water, cook bok choy, covered, 1 minute; drain. Arrange around noodles. Keep warm.
