This looks like a nice dish++chicken breast stuffed with wild rice,
some veggies and crepe strips to fill in for noodles.

Establishment: Hotel Riverside Plaza Tai Chang Kiu Road, Shatin, New
Territories. Western Cuisine Practical Class Gold Award – Hot entree
Chef: Chan Chi-hung Philip (Hotel Riverside Plaza)

To prepare: 1. Precook wild rice as a pilaf with chopped onions,
chicken stock, and appropriate amount of water. When cool, add grated
Parmesan cheese and let mixture cool.

2. Cut chicken breast portions butterfly style (i.e. slice in half
and spread open. Flatten and slightly stretch them (by gently
pounding them between two sheets of wax paper or inside a clean
plastic bag. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Lay a cone-shaped portion of rice stuffing on one side of each
flattened breast. Roll chicken breast up in a cone shape. Wrap each
cone firmly in aluminum foil (to maintain shape during cooking: the
professional recipe calls for plastic foil wrapping, but aluminum
foil is recommended for home cooking).

4. Blanch green leek stems, then refresh in cold water.

5. Make 4 very thin crepes about 20 cms wide (ingredients not
included above).

To cook: 1. Blanch pearled vegetables, celery and peas, then saute in
approximately 10 g butter, adding salt and pepper according to taste.
Keep a quarter aside.

2. To make sauce, reduce chicken stock and add fresh cream. Cook
briefly, then strain. Add fresh lemon juice and finish with butter
as required. Adjust seasoning and add chopped chervil according to
taste.

3. Saute morels in approximately 10 g butter.

4. Heat some chicken stock (5 cups should be sufficient to completely
cover the four wrapped chicken portions). Simmer breasts in hot
stock for approximately 7 minutes. Remove from pan, discard aluminum
foil wrappings, and saute in approximately 60 g butter until lightly
browned. Then slice each into six portions, cut at an angle (30 to 40
degrees).

To present: Treasure Hunt takes the form of a chicken breast “boat”,
with morel oars being rowed towards crepe “treasure bag” of vegetable
“precious stones” some of which have spilled on the shore.

1. Portion out 3/4 of vegetable pearls, celery and peas onto crepes
lifting crepe edges upwards to form bag shapes. Tie tops of bags with
blanched green leek stems (with decorative knotted bows if stems are
long enough).

2. Pour sauce onto plates. Arrange chicken slices in a line on
sauce, lay thick ends of morels between them. Place a crepe bag on
each plate, with reserved vegetable pearls laid beside bag. Garnish
with chervil sprigs (or watercress or parsley).

    Sage White Beans

    Recipe

    White Beans with Sage

    There have been a number of good polenta suggestions…here is
    one that we enjoyed earlier this summer. It was one of those hot
    days, so I chilled the polenta in a loaf pan, and just sliced it
    (without dry-frying or anything). On top I put white beans and sage.
    It’s an adaptation of a recipe from Fields of Greens (called Warm
    Cannellini Beans with Sage, p. 270, for those of you with this
    cookbook):

    2 cans of your favorite white beans…
    1 bay leaf
    2 fresh winter savory or thyme sprigs
    10 fresh sage leaves
    1 med. yellow onion, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
    salt and pepper
    3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
    1/3 C dry white wine
    1/2 T parsley

    Put the beans into a saucepan with the bay leaf, savory and
    two of the sage leaves. Warm gently until you need them, so that they
    take in the herb flavors. Remove the herbs and bay leaf, leave the
    beans in their broth.

    While the beans cook, chop the remaining sage leaves.
    Water-saute the onion, 1/2 t salt, and a few pinches of pepper. Saute
    (I’ll probably use water next time; I tried wine, but I thought it
    made the whole thing to wine-y.) over medium heat until the onion
    begins to release its juices. Add the garlic and sage; saute for
    about 10 minutes, then add the wine and cook for a minute or two,
    until the pan is nearly dry.

    Add the beans and their broth to the onions along with 1/2 t
    salt and a few pinches of pepper. Lower the heat and cook for 20
    minutes, adding alittle water if needed to keep the beans saucy. Add
    salt and pepper to taste. Add the parsley just before serving.

    reserved soup over top; sprinkle with remaining
    parmesan cheese. (Recipe can be prepared to this
    point, cooled, covered and refrigerated for up to 24
    hours.) Bake, covered in 350 F. oven for 20 minutes
    (45 minutes if refrigerated); uncover and bake for 20
    minutes longer (45 minutes if refrigerated) or until
    hot.

    Garnish: ladle soup into large warmed bowls; garnish
    with drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle of freshly
    grated Parmesan cheese.
