Preparation of ingredients: chicken, cordyceps, etc.
Simple methods and steps for cooking chicken soup:
Exercise:
1. After the chicken is cooked, remove the floating foam on it. If cooked for too long, blood residue will stick to the meat.
2. Then clean the chicken with clear water, especially the stewed chicken in soup, which needs to be washed several times. It needs to be washed until it is bright and not turbid.
3. Finally, prepare a casserole. Put a few slices of ginger first, then chicken and cordyceps. Don't add salt, because the chicken will get old after adding salt.
Finally, cover the pot and simmer for 40 minutes. Because the chicken may be tender for a long time, it is necessary to control the heat while ensuring that the water in the pot is not boiled dry.
5. After all stewing, add edible salt to taste.
6, you can also add some pepper to enhance the fragrance and put some shallots.
Tips:
Blanch the chicken soup before cooking, because there is a lot of blood in the chicken bones. If it is not cleaned, it will not only make the soup turbid, but also affect the umami taste. Therefore, when stewing bone soup, you must put the pot in "cold water" and cook it slowly with a small fire, so that the blood in the bone can be completely cooked. It takes about 3-5 minutes after boiling.
