New Year’s Eve is coming soon. Are you ready for the New Year’s Eve dinner recipe? Big fish and meat are indispensable, vegetarian and cold dishes are also indispensable, and soup is also a must. If you have a lot of people at home, I suggest you make a pot of chicken soup. It is nutritious, delicious and delicious. It will definitely be very popular!

The nourishing effect of chicken soup should be well known. The protein content is extremely high, and it is also very rich in trace elements. It is suitable for all ages.

But I think it is not easy to make a delicious pot of chicken soup. After all, many people have failed when making chicken soup. The chicken soup was not delicious and had a fishy smell, and the chicken was also very bad.

So if you want the stewed chicken soup to be delicious and delicious, you can neither stew it directly nor blanch it directly. Recently I discovered a little trick. Before stewing chicken soup, do this step more. The chicken soup will be delicious and not smelly. I will share the correct method below. Let’s learn it quickly and apply what you have learned when making chicken soup during the Chinese New Year!

Ingredients: Shiitake mushrooms, chicken, green onions, ginger, red dates, cooking wine, salt, cooking oil

1. First, we clean the Shiitake mushrooms and set them aside for later use. If they are dried Shiitake mushrooms If so, you have to soak it in advance. Cut the green onion into slices and cut the ginger into slices for later use.

2. Next we will process the chicken and chop it into small pieces. Next, prepare a basin of water and soak the chicken in the water. This is the most important step in the process of stewing chicken soup. Soaking the chicken for 30 minutes can remove most of the blood and make the chicken smell less fishy.

3. After the chicken is soaked, we put it into the pot, then add ginger, cooking wine, and water and start cooking. After blanching, take it out, rinse, drain and set aside. Add a little cooking oil to the wok, add the onions, ginger, and chicken and stir-fry until slightly brown, then pour everything into the casserole.

4. Add enough water to the casserole and bring it to a boil over high heat. After boiling, add the red dates and shiitake mushrooms and simmer for about 1 hour. Finally, sprinkle an appropriate amount of salt. There is no need to add other seasonings. After adding the salt, stir it evenly and then turn off the heat.

Cooking tips:

1. Stewing chicken soup, directly stewing or directly blanching are both wrong practices. This step is the most important - soaking in advance. The soaking step can thoroughly process the blood in the chicken pieces, making the chicken more tender and less fishy.

2. Before stewing the chicken soup, you can put the chicken in the oil pan and stir-fry it briefly. The stewed chicken soup will taste more fragrant. Of course, if you like the completely original taste, you can skip this step.
