MMMMM------------------PON PON SHREDDED CHICKEN-----------------------
      3 c  Stock or water
  1 1/2 c  Shredded chicken;
           - 3 to 4 breasts
      2    Bean paste sheets or
           - wide strips of carrot or
           - cucumber

MMMMM-------------------------SEASONING------------------------------
      2 tb Peanut butter
      1 ts Sesame oil
    1/2 ts Light soy sauce
    1/2 ts Red pepper oil

MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
    1/2 ts Sugar
    1/2 ts Sesame oil
    1/4 ts Salt
  
  Mix well, separately, seasoning and sauce ingredients.
  
  Bring stock or salted water to the boil, immerse chicken breasts
  and turn off flame. Soak until cooled, then shred into strips.
  Alternatively, for authentic and finer texture, cover breasts with
  a clean cloth and shred by hitting them with a mallet--hence the
  sound of ponpon.
  
  Lay bean paste sheets in a suitable flat container, and blanch in
  hot water for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and rinse under cold running
  water. Drain and cut into finger-sized strips and mix with sauce
  mixture.
  
  Spoon into serving dish, pile shredded chicken on top and pour
  seasoning mixture over.
