authentic Guangdong boiled chicken
raw materials:
main ingredients: Sanhuang chicken

2. Dipping: Cut the green onion, shallot and ginger into pieces, add salt, a little white pepper and chicken powder, pour in sesame oil, stir well, and let it stand for two or three minutes to make the onion juice and ginger juice come out. I like to put some white vinegar, which varies from person to person.
