This two-layer chicken terrine, made with chicken breast, is perfect for Christmas and New Year's celebrations. It's an easy recipe that involves mixing ingredients in a food processor, molding them, and steaming them in a frying pan. Adding tofu and eggs results in a moist and tender texture. It's beautifully colorful, tastes great even when cold, and is recommended for meal prep or bento boxes.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (1 loaf pan)

  • Carrot 100g
  • Chicken Breast 350g
  • Egg 1
  • Potato Starch 4 tbsp
  • Tofu 150g

Seasonings

  • Sugar 2 tsp
  • Dashi Granules 2 tsp
  • Soy Sauce 1 tsp
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Steps

  1. Peel and slice 100g of carrot into 2cm thick half-moons.
  2. Place the carrot in a microwave-safe container, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave on 600W for 2.5 minutes.
  3. Remove the skin from 350g of chicken breast and cut into 2cm cubes.
  4. Place the cubed chicken breast and finely chopped chicken skin (optional, omit if you dislike it) into a food processor.
  5. Add 1 egg, 3 tbsp Potato Starch, 2 tsp Sugar, 2 tsp Dashi Granules, 1 tsp Soy Sauce, a pinch of Salt and Pepper, and 150g drained Tofu to the food processor.
  6. Process until the mixture becomes a smooth paste and develops a sticky texture.
  7. Line an 18x8x6cm loaf pan with parchment paper.
  8. Spread half of the plain meat mixture into the pan. (This is the key! Using slightly more plain mixture than half ensures a good balance with the carrot mixture that will be added later).
  9. Add the cooked carrot and 1 tbsp Potato Starch to the remaining meat mixture and process.
  10. Blend until the carrot is pureed and the mixture is evenly colored.
  11. Spread the carrot-infused meat mixture into the pan.
  12. Cover the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil.
  13. Place the pan in a deep frying pan or pot. Add hot water until it reaches 1/3 of the way up the side of the pan.
  14. Cover with a lid and steam over low to medium-low heat for 30 minutes. (This is the key! Add more water if it reduces during cooking).
  15. After steaming for 30 minutes, remove the pan and let it cool to room temperature.
  16. Once cooled, remove the terrine from the pan.
  17. Slice into bite-sized pieces and arrange on a plate. (This is the key! It can be stored in the refrigerator for 5 days to 1 week. It's also great for New Year's Osechi, Toshikoshi Soba, or Ozoni soup).
  18. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi, or enjoy with ketchup and mayonnaise to your preference.
