Introduction
This is a classic home-style dish full of authentic Cantonese summer flavors. It utilizes the unique sweet and sour aroma of fresh wampi fruit, braised in a clay pot with tender Sanhuang chicken. The fruit juice effectively softens the chicken fibers, making the meat incredibly succulent and tender, creating an appetizing and refreshing dish fragrant with fruit notes.
Step 1
Clean the chicken, chop it into medium-sized pieces, and use paper towels to thoroughly pat dry the surface moisture.
Step 2
Wash the wampi fruit. Use your hands to squeeze each one to break the skin and pop out the seeds (removing the pits prevents bitterness), keeping both the peel and the pulp.
Step 3
Add half of the wampi fruit (peel and pulp) to the chicken. Then, add light soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, sugar, white pepper, a splash of cooking wine, and cornstarch. Massage well by hand, ensuring the wampi fruit juice permeates the chicken. Finally, add a little peanut oil to seal in the moisture and marinate for 15-20 minutes.
Step 4
Prepare the clay pot aromatics: slice the ginger, peel and halve the shallots, peel and smash the garlic, and cut the scallions into sections, separating the whites and greens.
Step 5
Place a clay pot over heat with a little peanut oil. Once hot, add the ginger slices, garlic, shallots, and scallion whites, and stir-fry over medium heat until fragrant.

Important Notes
⚠️ The pits of the wampi fruit are bitter; be sure to squeeze them out completely before cooking so as not to affect the flavor of the dish.
💡 Adding mashed wampi fruit during marination is a key technique; the fruit acids effectively break down the chicken fibers, making the meat tender and smooth.
🔥 This dish uses the moisture and juices from the ingredients themselves for braising. No additional water is needed in the clay pot. Keep the heat at medium-low to prevent the base ingredients from burning.
