Stew, with dried mushrooms, you have to soak the dried mushrooms in boiling water, then wash them, cut the chicken into pieces, wash them, drain the water, and then put oil in the pot (if the chicken has a piece of chicken oil). You can cut the chicken oil into small pieces, add some salt and fry the chicken oil in the pot. If the chicken oil is not enough, you can put some cooking oil, and then fry the garlic until it turns yellow. Add bean paste and stir-fry chicken. Add water, add the prepared mushrooms, add a few slices of ginger, pepper and edible salt (because water and mushrooms are added), and simmer over medium heat. You can taste the salty taste of the soup halfway, then add a little chicken essence, simmer for 40 minutes, and take out the pot. The chicken is fresh and tender, and the mushrooms have an endless aftertaste. Be sure to use fire safely when cooking to prevent burns. I hope my answer is useful to you!
