This stewing method has the most mellow flavor, is a common Cantonese cuisine stew), will add a good container lid into the steamer, the conditions of the available Saran Wrap wet water sealed in the container (to adjust the flavor first), high-fire steaming 2 hours or so that is completed.
2, if you use the steamer stew, you do not have to put water, rely on the steam condensed into soup, the flavor is very strong and mellow, stew and water stew similar.
3, no matter what kind of stewing method, it is best to remove the chicken oil before stewing, so as not to be too greasy.
