There is a place I grew up eating at, that makes chicken subgum like this and I have been looking for a similar one at all the Chinese restaurants around me now and can never find it, I just remembered that I can make it myself! It came out exactly what I was looking for!

Bake, boil, or crock, these ready briskets can go any way. Fella likes baked. Put water in the bottom of the dish, so no bake on mess. Since the oven was on anyway: Peel, season and cover w/foil and throw those taters in to cook. All u gotta do now, is quarter that cabbage, STEAM UNTIL JUST TENDER, and serve all with vinegar pepper sauce👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼LOVE THIS, and not just on ST. Paddy’s Day❤️❤️❤️

Wait to add your red onion til just before service. Plus parsley and red pepper flakes went in. It got eaten, that’s all I know. Dressing was mayo, buttermilk, mustard, dill, salt and pepper. Added pickle juice at the end. Needed more zip.

Seemed like a big production, but it really wasn’t. I pull out recipes from my magazines, and file (fish, chicken etc. folders). The I will flip through them and make decisions.
Didn’t have any googuchang, so used dumpling sauce and hot Calabrian chili sauce. Make it your own. The recipe guides me, but cooking is about making it your own. I grew the tomatoes and over baked them. I added some of those French fried onions on top of my grits and the crunch was great!!

Leftover chicken was the protein. I like to sauté celery and onions to add to the broth. Debone the chicken, boil the carcass a couple of hours. Strain the bones, add the saute of vegetables too the broth. I added a few fresh mushrooms too. If u need more broth, add in some. Dumplings were 2 cups flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder and a sprinkle of salt. Cut in 3 T. of butter, then bring together with 3/4-1 cup of milk. Pat out and cut. Place in gentle simmer of broth, covered for about 15 minutes. Season with thyme, bay, S&P, a little sage. Add in leftover chicken. Taste and adjust seasonings. You could add some half and half for a creamy richness. ❤️

Two things my fella loves to cook. Stir fry and soup. Tomorrow, the leftovers from this meal will be transformed into breakfast with 2 soft eggs on it.
