It's cold, it's really time to drink chicken soup and eat beef and mutton. Cantonese people love to make all kinds of medicinal soups, while Hokkien people will stew their local longan with chicken, which they consider more nourishing than chicken soup alone.
Longan has the effect of calming the heart and calming the nerves, replenishing deficiency and maintaining health, strengthening the body and intellect, replenishing qi and nourishing blood, and enhancing resistance, the most obvious is that the number of colds has been reduced.
Stewed with longan and chicken, the sweet flavor of the chicken soup is missing, and the sweetness of the rich and heavy longan is added. Change your taste often and make life more exciting.
Today I use Tongzi Chicken, which is the chicken of the year, so it will not be too greasy, and it will be suitable for a wide range of people.
【Longan Boy Chicken Soup】
[Ingredients]: 1 boy chicken, half a bowl of longan, green onion and ginger
[Production]:
1. First of all, clean the chicken, then take a casserole, the casserole should be that deep, put the chicken in the jar, add cold water to overflow. Be careful to simmer in cold water.
2. Boil the chicken broth over high heat for 1-2 minutes, then skim off the foam. Note that if there is a lot of dirt at this time, the water should be discarded, the chicken should be cleaned, and the chicken should be replaced with clean water before continuing to cook.
4. After skimming off the foam, add the longan, green onion and ginger to the pot.
5. Bring the water to a boil again, then reduce the heat to a low heat and simmer until the chicken can be easily poked with chopsticks. Note that the boy chicken is a chick of the year, and it can be cooked for a long time.
6. Put it in the soup pot and add a little salt and serve.
7. You can also remove the chicken, tear it into shreds, fry the shredded chicken with some oil, salt, shallots and ginger, and put it in a bowl.
Eat with some vegetables, scoop some soup, and add some shredded chicken to make a bowl of chicken soup with great umami.
This way of eating is the method of my hometown Huainan people, I like this way of eating very much, the whole family has meat to eat. Unlike the southerners, who pull large chicken legs to children or guests from the house, one chicken leg can be eaten.
Small Whispers:
1. The boy chicken is a chick that year, and it can be stewed for a maximum of 40 minutes, and it must not be stewed for too long.
2. It is best not to use salt in the stewed original soup, especially not to add star anise and other spices, it will have a very strange taste.
