Barbecued Vietnamese Five-Spice Cornish Game Hens 4 Cornish game hens (14 ounces-each) 1/4 ts Black pepper 1/2 ts Five spice powder 4 Garlic cloves 1 1/2 tb Vietnamese fish sauce-(nouc mam) 2 Shallots, or 3 green onions,-white part only 1 1/2 tb Light soy sauce 1 1/2 tb Sugar 1 1/2 tb Dry sherry 1/2 ts Salt This aromatic barbecued game hen can be easily served West- ern style with rice, cole slaw or a green salad. [But it would be better with Thai cucumber salad or Vietnamese carrot salad. Mmmm... S.C.] Halve the hens through the breast. Flatten with the palm of your hand. In a mortar or food processor, pound or mince garlic, shallots and sugar. Add remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Pour mixture over hens; marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in refrigerator. Set hens, skin-side down, on grill and barbecue over medium coals for 15 minutes. Turn and barbecue 15 minutes longer or until they are thoroughly cooked. Serve with Nuoc Cham dipping sauce.
