2. Remove the internal organs of the old hen, thoroughly clean the inside and outside, and cut into large pieces. After the lean meat is washed, it is also cut into large pieces. Old hens are thick in meat and rich in calcium, which has a high tonic effect. It is very suitable for the elderly, children, women, pregnant women and the infirm. If it is easy to get angry, or obese, or people with high blood pressure, you can choose chicks instead of old hens.
3. Pour water into the pot, heat and boil over high fire, blanch the lean meat first, skim the floating foam, continue to cook for 3 minutes, and then remove. Blanch the chicken pieces in a pot for 3 minutes, then take them out, and rinse off the floating foam on the surface with clear water.
4. Rinse the five-finger peaches, soak them in clear water for 10 minute, and then wash the impurities on the surface. Five-finger peach is not a peach, because its leaves look like five fingers, and there are fine hairs on the leaves, and the fruit looks like a peach when it matures, so it is named. Five-finger peaches are easy to buy in southern cities. In the north, you can go to some pharmacies or vegetable markets to ask.
5. Put the blanched chicken nuggets and lean meat into the pot, add enough water, boil over high fire, skim off the floating foam that may be generated again, then add candied dates, medlar and five-finger peaches, cover them, and turn to low heat for 2 hours. Season with salt before eating.
6. Tip: When cooking soup, put a piece of lean meat into it (tenderloin), which will make the soup taste stronger and more fragrant.
