Add green onion, monk bean, sugar, msg mix well turn the heat off
Take the filling mixture out and set aside


For the batter
You need 1 bag of Bot Banch Beo Vietnamese rice cake and mix with 4 cup of water (direction is on the package) what I did with my recipe is I used 3 cup of water and 1 cup of coconut milk.

This recipe takes a bit of time to do. Many Khmer Thai cook stuffed chicken in many ways and the filling also difference from region to region. In order to stuff the chicken you need to remove the inside bone by taking a sharp knife and circle around the bone and peel the chicken meat backward until you get the bone out to make a hole inside the chicken leg or wing. You can steam and Pan fry or bake like any chicken.

Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl set aside. (if you don’t like oyster sauce you can put any kind of seasoning you like or just salt and pepper)

Take one piece of chicken leg or wing by packing it down to the bottom. It should make a fat little drumstick or wing.



To cook stuff chickens it is best if you steam the chicken first for 30 minutes
In a steamer lay lettuce leave or spray the bottom of the steamer incase it is stick to the pan
Dust each piece of stuffed chicken (you can dust or steam without dusting) with flour then lay them in the steamer and steam for 30 minutes (repeat the remaining chicken) when it done take it out to cool before you do the next step.

Next roll them in 2 beaten egg wash, and then in panko bread crumbs slightly seasoned with salt and pepper
