Do you usually steam chicken or fish with hot water or cold water? There is a big difference between hot water and cold water, which is why the steamed chicken is very old and hard.

Step 2: Prepare some salt and tea oil, stir well, then spread it evenly on the chicken and pat it a few times to make the tea oil completely blend with the chicken. Then put ginger, salt and cooking wine into a bowl and stir well, then add shallots. Don't chop the onion, just stuff it into the chicken's stomach, so you can throw it away when you eat it later.
Step 3: Put the chicken in the steamer and put it directly in cold water. Steam for about half an hour, and take it out for half an hour at most, so the steamed chicken tastes fresh and delicious.
