Instructions

* Note 1: See the "Chinese Chicken Soup Stock" recipe which is inclued in
this collection.
* Note 2: Peel and cut the onions into 8 wedges each; divide the wedges
into leaves.

Cut the chicken and mix with the marinade. Allow to sit for 15 minutes.
Heat a wok and add one-half of the oil. Chow (stir-fry) the garlic and
salt for just a moment. Add the chicken, drained of the marinade. Reserve
the marinade.
Brown the chicken well on all sides and add the broth. Cover and cook
until the chicken is done to your taste. Remove the cover and allow the
broth to reduce a bit.
Remove all from the wok and set aside.
Heat the wok and add the remaining oil. Chow the onions until the yellow
ones begin to brown a bit. Return the chicken to the wok along with the
remaining ingredients except the lettuce but including the marinade. Chow
for a few moments so that all is hot.
Place the lettuce in a 4-quart sand pot or stove-top casserole. Top with
the chicken and onions and cover. Place on the stove and heat until the
pot is very hot. Serve immediately. This recipe serves 4 to 6 as part of
a Chinese meal.

Comments: This dish will have an unusual flavor due to the use of the
wonderful five-spice powder. If you do not have a sand pot you can use a
stove-top casserole.
