Chickens are the most abundant type of poultry. People have domesticated and raised chickens a long time ago, using chickens as the main source of meat. It is relatively simple to eat chickens because they are small and easy to eat. Processing and cooking are very easy. People often stew chicken.

Method 1:

1. Treat the old hen you bought first;

2. Cut open the belly, remove the internal organs, and chop into small pieces.

3. Boil some water. You don’t need to boil it. Just heat it up. Pour it into the chicken pot, remove the dirt on the surface of the chicken, and drain the water.

4. Marinate the chicken pieces with onion, ginger and a spoonful of cooking wine to remove the fishy smell. Put the cooled chicken nuggets into the casserole, pour in water to cover the chicken nuggets, and put an aniseed flap (one is enough, otherwise the smell of spices will take away the flavor of the chicken) and bring to a boil over high heat. Don't be afraid of trouble, be sure to use a spoon to skim off the foam on the surface of the soup, so that the chicken will taste better.

5. Turn to low heat and simmer until the meat is cooked. It will take nearly two hours. It will be faster if you use a pressure cooker, but the taste is not as good as the slow-fire cooking in a casserole. Just add some salt at the end and simmer for a while. The salt should be added at the end, otherwise the meat will become tough.

6. When the chicken is half stewed, add some jujube and wolfberry, and finally cut off a few pieces of the steamed pumpkin, throw it into the chicken soup and simmer for a few minutes.

Method 2:

1. Cut half a chicken into pieces and wash.

2. Boil some water in a pot and filter out the water.

3. Heat the oil in the pot again, add onion, ginger and garlic and sauté until fragrant.

4. Add a spoonful of bean paste and stir-fry together.

5. Add the blanched chicken to the pot and stir-fry.

6. Fry the chicken until it is firm and add dark soy sauce.

7. Add boiling water.

8. Add the shiitake mushrooms cut into slices to the pot and stir evenly.

9. Add appropriate amount of salt and simmer until the pot boils.
