Share with you a delicious and nutritious home cooking method-stewed mushrooms with chicken. As the name suggests, chicken is the main ingredient of this dish. Therefore, friends need to get up in the morning and go to the market to buy fresh tender chicken. After buying the chicken, clean it, cut it into chicken pieces of appropriate size, and put it in the pot with cold water directly. Next, when dealing with meat, it is a common step to remove fishy smell. Generally speaking, the fishy smell of farm-raised chicken will not be too heavy, but it is still necessary to put the "three treasures"-onion, ginger and cooking wine in the pot after the chicken is cooked in cold water, which can enhance the fragrance of the chicken.

When the material is finished, turn on a big fire and blanch it. Don't relax, because if you don't control the heat and time well, the chicken will be overcooked and affect the taste. During the blanching period, friends can make full use of the kitchen time to wash and soak the dried mushrooms, another protagonist of this dish, for later use. By the way, the operation of soaking dried mushrooms is very simple. Just put the washed mushrooms in a bowl, add sugar, add warm water and shake them evenly, and you can soak them in three minutes! Immediately after the fire boils, take out the chicken pieces and put them into the basin, and then clean them. Because the blanched chicken nuggets will blanch out some impurities such as blood foam, it is necessary to wash them again after blanching and fishing, so that you can eat clean and rest assured!

Next, let's get down to business! If you use a traditional iron pot at home, remember to heat the pot first, and then put in cold oil; Friends who are non-stick at home can just put cold oil in the cold pot. Then add two or three star anise, four or five dried peppers, ginger slices or shredded ginger, and start to explode. Stir-fry the seasoning a few times, add a little sugar and stir-fry, then quickly stir-fry the washed chicken pieces with water control. When you first add chicken nuggets, don't hurry to season them. Stir them for a few times, then add some soy sauce according to your taste and continue to stir them. Seasoning with soy sauce is the basic common sense of friends who can cook. However, the color of soy sauce is lighter. If you like friends with richer dishes, after adding soy sauce and stir-frying a few times, you need to add a little soy sauce and stir-fry evenly to color the chicken pieces.

As we all know, cooking pays attention to color, flavor and taste. For Chinese food, it is not enough to use soy sauce for seasoning. Then, add some yellow wine to the lustful chicken pieces to enhance the fragrance. At this time, you can add the soaked dried mushrooms into the pot, and then pour in clean water. Here, it is recommended that qualified friends can use pure water. At this point, how much water is appropriate? Don't worry, as long as the amount of water just doesn't exceed the chicken nuggets.

After the fire boils, add a little salt to taste, stir fry evenly, and then start to enter the theme of this dish-stew. Here, I suggest you change to a pressure cooker for stewing, which not only saves a lot of time, but also tastes particularly fragrant. The steps of stewing in a pressure cooker are also very simple. Just stew15 ~ 20 minutes after aeration. However, friends must pay attention to safety when using the pressure cooker. After stewing, the pressure cooker should be completely vented before boiling!
