I used to work alone in a strange city. Fortunately, I had weekends. I hid in my rental house, read books, studied and played games. I felt very restless. My only regret was that I couldn’t eat well. I have eaten in all the small restaurants at the door, but it is always unsatisfactory. It is still a headache to adapt to food and taste in a foreign land. As time went by, I came up with the idea of ????cooking in the kitchen at home;

After simply purchasing pots and pans, I went to the library to buy a few Sichuan cuisine cookbooks. I followed the above food tutorials and started cooking in the kitchen at home. This was also the foundation I laid at that time. I learned about green peppers. Stir-fried shredded pork, pork ribs and lotus root soup, braised pork, steamed eggs, braised fish, stewed chicken soup;

I have been cleaning up the study room at home these days, and I have dug out several cookbooks that I bought overseas. The book is still new, and I have never tried any of the home-cooked dishes in it. Only the chicken soup recipe fascinates me. The reason is that in those years, people in unfamiliar cities would go to the supermarket to buy a local chicken on the weekends. , the staff helped me chop it into small pieces, I only need to buy the following 6 ingredients, some are used to remove the fishy smell, some are used to enhance the freshness, and they are made according to the food tutorials in the recipes. In those years, in other places, The reason why I stew chicken soup every week is simple. The stewed chicken is crispy but not rotten, has no meaty smell, and the chicken soup is sweet and delicious. One person can eat several meals with one native chicken, and the remaining chicken soup in the end is okay. Next, the most important thing is that the price of whole chicken back then was not very expensive;

These two ingredients are very nutritious. They will not only double the nutrition of the chicken soup, but also make our complexion rosy and easy to eat. It's very simple to make. After removing the pits from the red dates, clean them. Wash and soak the wolfberries directly before adding them to the chicken soup. The key point is that the red dates need to be added earlier so that the chicken soup will have a fresh and sweet taste. The wolfberries are added The time is after the chicken soup is simmered, then add it, and then simmer for 5 minutes;

Shiitake mushrooms can be divided into dry and wet ones. When using shiitake mushrooms, it is best to buy dried shiitake mushrooms and use them after soaking. Crab-flavored mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, etc. can also be put into chicken soup. It is very obvious to improve the flavor of chicken soup;

When blanching chicken, you can put Add a few slices of ginger and scallions, which can remove the fishy smell. When making chicken soup, you can also put a few slices of ginger and scallions, but you need to add the ginger when the chicken soup is almost cooked. Remove the slices and green onions;

Because of the addition of red dates, the chicken soup will have a slight sweetness, which is very appetizing. In fact, students who like it light can not add salt at this time. But in my opinion, adding appropriate salt will make this bowl of chicken soup perfect. Chicken soup with no salty taste but only sweet taste is always missing something;

In addition to these 7 ingredients and accessories, There is no need to add any other seasonings when stewing chicken soup. Others are superfluous. For example, many netizens like to add MSG, but it is actually unnecessary because the chicken itself is very delicious. We also added mushrooms and red dates, which are actually very delicious. Delicious;

Ingredients required: a native chicken, about 5 red dates, a piece of ginger, a small piece of green onion, an appropriate amount of mushrooms, an appropriate amount of salt, and a small handful of vermicelli;

1. Buy a local chicken of about 2-3 pounds in the supermarket. Today’s local chickens are not cheap. One chicken costs more than 100. In fact, it is quite expensive. Therefore, not only must it be delicious, but you must also respect the ingredients. ;

2. The staff at the supermarket will help us cut it into small pieces. When we went to the supermarket to buy a few days ago, the staff was busy, so we cut it according to the size that our family likes when we get home. Clean the dried mushrooms, soak them in warm water, and core the red dates;

3. Chop the chicken into small pieces, blanch it in a hurry, and soak it in a pot of water for a while, about 1 hour The main function of this step is to remove the blood and impurities from the chicken through soaking;

4. Then blanch the chicken, put it in the pot with warm water, add 3-5 slices of sliced ??ginger and Slice green onions, boil them over high heat, skim off the scum and take them out. Then you need to rinse them repeatedly in clean water to wash off the scum attached to the chicken pieces, so that the stewed chicken soup will be clean;

5 , My casserole is 22 centimeters in diameter, not too small, but not too big either. After putting in the chicken pieces of a whole chicken, you actually can’t add too much water. This is the key point I want to say, the water must be Pour in cold water. Don’t add too much water. Too much water will dilute the flavor of the chicken soup and make it unpalatable.

Add the chicken pieces, ginger, green onions, mushrooms and red dates together. In the casserole, after it boils over high heat, cover the pot, turn down the heat, and simmer for 40 minutes until the chicken pieces are soft and tender;

6. After the chicken pieces are stewed until tender, season with salt. , you can take out the ginger slices and green onion segments at this time;

7. My wife likes to eat thin vermicelli, add an appropriate amount of vermicelli, and after cooking, a pot of delicious native chicken soup is ready;< /p>

At the end of writing, I still want to say a few words. In my opinion, simmering and stewing soup is the easiest way to cook in the kitchen. Just watch the fire. It is much simpler than making home-cooked dishes. It is neither It needs to be picked and washed in advance, and it is not necessary to stir-fry in front of the stove. If native chickens were not too expensive, I would really like to stew chicken soup and simmer pork ribs soup for my family every day;

It is better to stew chicken soup for home-cooked meals on weekends. Remember the "6 Ingredients" food tutorial. The soup is delicious and meaty. The most important thing is that after eating the chicken, the remaining chicken soup can also be used as stock for cooking;
