Dai Lime Quail
Report
This is a dish from Yunnan, in southern China, and it definitely has a Southeast Asian feel to it. Simmered chicken or quail, shredded, and served in a salad of rau ram, ginger, garlic and chiles, with a bit of lime and sesame oil to liven things up.

Ingredients
BROTH
- 8 quail
- 1 quart chicken broth
- 1 leek chopped
- ginger 2-inch piece, smashed
- 2 star anise (optional)
- salt
SALAD
- 1 cup rau ram leaves
- 1/2 cup cilantro or mint, chopped
- 5 hot fresh chile such as Thai or pequin
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 lime zested and juiced
Instructions
- Put the quail into a soup pot and add the chicken broth, plus enough water to cover by about an inch. Bring to a gentle simmer, and skim off any froth. Add the remaining broth ingredients and simmer gently until the quails are tender, usually about 90 minutes to 2 hours.
- Remove the quail and, when cool enough to handle, shred the meat and reserve. Strain the broth and reserve for another use. Discard the quail bones.
- Add the shredded quail to the salad ingredients and serve either chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- NOTE: Any light meat poultry works here, and the salad is traditionally done with chicken.
