The simple way to make the home version of Ground Pot Chicken is as follows:

1. Prepare some flour, just ordinary, add a little salt in the middle, and then add an appropriate amount of water, about half of the flour. Don't add too much at once.

2. Knead it into a dough, as long as you feel there are no lumps.

3. Prepare a small rooster, remove the parts that need to be removed, such as the chicken neck, chicken butt, etc., and chop it into slightly larger pieces with a knife, because it will shrink when cooked.

4. Peel the ginger and cut into large pieces, do the same with the green onion. Peel the whole garlic and cut the onion into small pieces.

5. Pour a little more oil into the pot than usual for cooking, heat over low heat, pour in the peeled garlic and slowly stir-fry until fragrant. In order to keep the whole garlic intact, stir-fry until golden brown. Take it out when slightly wrinkled.

6. Pour in ginger, scallions, onion slices, cinnamon, star anise, chili pepper, a little pepper, grasshopper, and bay leaves, and continue to stir-fry until fragrant.

7. Then drain the chicken pieces and put them in the pot. At this time, you can add a spoonful of sugar, which can help the chicken pieces color and fry until the chicken skin turns slightly yellow. Then you can pour a spoonful of cooking wine.

8. Add boiling water until the ingredients are almost completely covered. After boiling over high heat, turn to medium to low heat, cover the pot and simmer for about twenty minutes, moving the spatula in the middle.

9 While the chicken is stewing, we can make the dough. The dough that has just woken up is already very smooth. We knead it a little and divide it into twelve equal parts.

10. Put the rolled balls into a bowl with water and let them absorb the water so that the cake will be softer later.

11. Then take out the dough in the water one by one, flatten it, and then pull it into an oval cake. Place them one by one on the edge of the pot so that half of the cake is on the surface of the soup and half is in the soup. Cover the pot and simmer for about fifteen minutes until the ground pot chicken is fragrant and flavorful.
