1. Preparation materials: The amount of chicken, ginger (3 or 4 slices) and sesame oil depends on the chicken. If the amount of chicken is 7 minutes full in a clay pot, add a bowl of sesame oil 7 minutes full, and so on, without paying special attention to the proportion. Salt is common refined salt with high sodium content and a little salty. Don't use low sodium salt or healthy sodium for cooking here, because the taste won't come out.
2. Boil chicken in boiling water to remove blood.
Don't peel the old ginger after washing, cut it into thin slices, it needs a lot, because there are several layers to be laid behind.
4. Put the scalded chicken into a clay pot, make it as smooth as possible, and then pour sesame oil to make it even.
5. Spread a layer of ginger slices in turn, and then spread the second and third layers until you can't see the chicken at the bottom, and there can be no gaps between ginger slices.
6. After the ginger slices are laid, add a lot of salt to cover and completely submerge the ginger slices. Cover the pot and simmer. First, simmer with high fire, that is, smoke is seen on the lid (about 5 minutes), then simmer with low fire 15-20 minutes, and then turn off the fire and simmer for 5 minutes. Don't open the lid in a hurry.
7. With a spoon and a clip, slowly remove the salt and ginger from the upper layer, but leave some ginger in the chicken.
Cooking tips
1, when cutting ginger slices, try to cut the area of ginger slices as large as possible, not all small pieces, so that salt can easily penetrate.
2, first spread a large piece of ginger, small pieces can be placed on it.
3. It's better for the braised pot to be a big casserole and clay pot, or a pressure cooker that every household in Chinese mainland has, so it's easier to keep warm and taste. If not, an ordinary pot is ok.
4, can't open the pot during cooking, so as not to run off.
5. Be careful when removing the salt and ginger slices, and don't let too much salt fall into the chicken, because the steam inside will make the salt run into the chicken below when cooking, which is already salty. But if it is not salty enough, you can add some salt and try the taste first.
6. When you can't finish cooking for the first time, you can add some wine when cooking for the second time.
7. Sesame oil is best to choose pure freshly squeezed sesame oil. Sesame oil contains about 72% unsaturated fatty acids, which can lower blood pressure, promote uterine contraction and help it recover.
8. The choice of chicken can be whole chicken or chicken legs or wings. I like to buy whole chicken legs and chicken wings stew. The meat in these two parts is more delicious. Chicken is rich in protein, which is easily digested and attracted by human body. Vitamin B and iron contained in it are also very helpful for hematopoiesis.
9. Not to mention the efficacy of ginger. Everyone knows it's good to eat more, especially girls with cold hands and feet. Here, you must use old ginger to taste enough, and tender ginger can't cook that taste.
