No-Broth Cornish Hen by Saltsensitive

Ingredients

• 1 cornish hen
• 1 apple, sliced
• 4 napa cabbage leaves, chopped
• 4 daikon slices, quartered
• 1 inch fresh ginger, sliced
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce (for serving)

Instructions

1. Place the chopped Napa cabbage, daikon slices, sliced apple, and ginger at the bottom of a heavy-bottomed pot.
2. Place the Cornish hen directly on top of the vegetable and fruit bed.
3. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and cook over low heat for 45-50 minutes.
4. Check that the hen is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and that the vegetables have released enough liquid to create a broth.
5. Serve the hen with a side of hoisin sauce for dipping and steamed rice.
