In fact, when it comes to stewed mushrooms with chicken, we all know that there is a saying that "uncle leads the way and chicken scares the soul". In other words, the newly-married daughter takes her son-in-law back to her mother's house, which must be a chicken stewed with mushrooms, so once the new son-in-law enters her in-law's house, the chicken will know that their end is coming. They will treat their new son-in-law as a delicacy.
Stewed chicken with mushrooms, an authentic northeast stew, can set off the delicious chicken. It is best for chickens to choose their own free-range roosters, and it is best for mushrooms to choose wild ones, which can completely set off the fragrance of chickens. In fact, the practice is quite simple.
Step 1: Choose a rooster, chop the rooster into small pieces, put the chicken in the pot with cold water, add ginger and onion, and then pour in cooking wine. In fact, this step is mainly to remove fishy smell. When the water boils, scoop out the foam floating on it with a spoon. After cleaning, remove the chicken with a colander and rinse it with warm water.
Step 2: Add oil to the pan, the oil temperature is 50% hot, add ginger, scallion, star anise and cinnamon, stir-fry until fragrant, then pour in chicken pieces, stir-fry until the surface is slightly yellow, then pour in white sugar and soy sauce, add cooking wine, stir-fry until the color is the highest, and finally add boiling water (remember not to add cold water, because adding cold water will turn the taste into firewood), and the amount of boiling water should not completely exceed that of chicken pieces. Pay attention. After the fire boils, turn to medium heat and stew for 40 minutes.
Step 3: Soak vermicelli and shiitake mushrooms in warm water and tear the soaked shiitake mushrooms into small umbrellas.
Step 4: After 40 minutes, add the soaked mushrooms and stew for another 30 minutes.
Step 5: after 30 minutes, pour in the soaked vermicelli, then add some edible salt (pepper can be added if you like spicy food) to stew the vermicelli, and turn off the heat and take out the pot. In this way, the delicious chicken stewed with mushrooms is out of the pot.
