Chinese Chicken Soup
Chinese Chicken Soup is a type of chicken soup that I really enjoy. Its preparation involves simmering chicken with various Chinese herbs and seasonings to achieve a rich flavor and nutritional value. This Chinese Chicken Soup has a delicious taste, and drinking it feels warm and comforting, making it especially suitable for consumption during cold weather or as a nourishing tonic.
INGREDIENTS
- 500g black-boned chicken
DIRECTIONS
Prepare all ingredients in advance. Clean and cut the black-boned chicken into pieces for later use.
Tip:
You can purchase black-boned chicken from Chinese grocery stores. If regular supermarkets don't have ingredients like Chinese yam and lotus root, you can find them at Chinese grocery stores.
Place the black-boned chicken in a pot of cold water. Add ginger, green onion, and cooking wine. Blanch the chicken to remove any odor. Remove and rinse thoroughly for later use.
Tip:
Black-boned chicken has a distinct odor. It's essential to blanch it before cooking soup to improve the taste of the chicken soup.
After blanching, wash the black-boned chicken thoroughly and place it in the pressure cooker. Add lotus root, ginger slices, and green onion segments to the pressure cooker. Add an appropriate amount of water. Cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes after the pressure cooker has reached pressure.
Tip:
If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can use a rice cooker to cook the chicken soup. The cooking time will be longer when using a rice cooker, approximately 1-2 hours for cooking soup mode.
Add Chinese yam and continue simmering until the Chinese yam is cooked through, approximately 20 minutes.
Once the chicken soup is cooked, season with an appropriate amount of salt and chicken bouillon.
Serve the soup in bowls and enjoy.
