There are many ways to make chicken, but in my opinion, the best is stewed chicken. A pot of chicken stew is tender and delicious, and soup can also be used for bibimbap. I like it very much. It's still the season when chestnuts are on the market. Stewed with chestnuts and chicken. The taste is simply not so good that people can't put it down.
But why do many people, stewed chicken, taste fishy, how to chew it, and feel stuffed? Actually, it's not the chicken, maybe it's because your method is useless. If you want the stewed chicken to be soft and tender, don't scald it any more. Today, I'll teach you a trick.
Ingredients: chicken, chestnut, ginger and garlic, dried pepper, salt, sugar, cooking wine, soy sauce and cooking oil.
1. Cut chicken into pieces. You buy this, the boss cuts it for you, so you don't have to go home again. After buying it back, we put it directly in clear water for soaking.
2, soaking is the most critical step, so soaking 1 hour, the blood inside and the dirty things with fishy smell are soaked out. If you do this well, you don't need to blanch again, but blanching will make the meat more firewood.
Next, let's treat chestnuts, boil them in water, then peel them and put them aside. Then cut the ginger and garlic and cut the dried Chili into small pieces. After the chicken is soaked, we take it out and rinse it under the tap several times until it is clean.
Next, boil the oil in the pot. After heating, we add ginger, garlic and dried peppers to stir-fry until fragrant, and then add chicken to stir-fry until fragrant. After the chicken is fried, we pour some soy sauce into it. It is better to put braised soy sauce at home, and the fried chicken is more fragrant.
5. Then add cooking wine and sugar, then pour in proper amount of water, add chestnuts, cover the lid and start stewing. Stew for more than half an hour on medium and small fire. Let's look at the status. If there is less soup, the chicken will be stewed soon. Finally, add salt, and then open the fire to collect the juice. After receiving it, you can turn off the fire and cook.
Tip:
Stewed chicken, if it doesn't smell fishy or firewood, don't blanch it again. You can try to do more 1 steps, soak the chicken in water and soak up all kinds of dirty things, which naturally has no fishy smell. You don't have to blanch the chicken, so it won't clog your teeth or burn firewood.
