Ingredients required: half a Sanhuang chicken, ginger 1 slice, 8 red dates, a proper amount of Chinese wolfberry, a spoonful of cooking wine, a little pepper and a proper amount of salt.

Step 1: Chop the Sanhuang chicken, soak it in salt water according to the above steps and rub it clean to prepare the chicken soup.

Step 2: Rinse the ginger, scrape off the skin and cut into pieces. Put the red dates and Chinese wolfberry in a bowl and soak them in water for 10 minute.

Step 3: Add a proper amount of water into the pot and put the chicken pieces and ginger slices into cold water, which can reduce the fishy smell of chicken soup again and make the chicken taste more delicate. Boil, don't cover the pot at this time. This is similar to stewed mutton, which can make the fishy smell run out with the steam, and the chicken soup is more fragrant and odorless.

Step 4: Use a strainer to remove the floating foam in the pot. Float is the residual blood and impurities in chicken nuggets. It can be seen that there is little foam floating in the pot at this time.

Step 5: Add a proper amount of base salt to the pot, cover the pot, turn to low heat and cook for 30 minutes, then add red dates and medlar, and continue cooking for 10 minute. Add a little pepper and some salt to taste before cooking, and a pot of delicious chicken soup will be ready.

This method of stewing chicken soup was also learned from a Guangdong chef. Although it's only one step more, chicken soup really tastes better. It is these just right controls and skills that give the ingredients better quality.

1. No matter what soup you make, try to keep the original flavor. Don't put some messy spices, such as pepper, cinnamon and cloves. Unless the quality of the ingredients is poor, these seasonings are needed to suppress the taste.

2. Generally, only ginger can be used as auxiliary material. Ginger is the "soul" in soup. It has no peculiar smell, but the more, the better. Not all soups cooked into ginger soup are delicious.

3. The quality of chicken is not very good now, and the raised chicken has a strong fishy smell. The chicken soup tastes better if it is soaked in salt water, kneaded, boiled in cold water and covered.

4. When adding Lycium barbarum and red dates, add them last, and the cooking time should not exceed 10 minutes to avoid melting.
