1. Before the chicken soup is put into the pot, everyone will do some "after-school activities" for the chicken, remove some chicken nails (this part should be eaten by no one), and soak the chicken in water for 30 minutes first. Many people just take the chicken out of the refrigerator and start cooking, which is not correct. Yes, you must put salt in the chicken soup. Don't forget, it is best to soak ginger, garlic, dates and medlar for a while in advance, but pay attention to the temperature of the water.
2. If you want chicken soup to have no fishy smell, rice wine is a must-have app. Add cooking wine first, then boil the chicken pieces until the water boils, then rinse the chicken pieces with cold water, and then rinse the horrible chicken pieces. Many people probably don't understand the function of this step, and they often get lazy and leave it out, but this step is a skill to remove the fishy smell of chicken pieces and must not be left out.
Reminder: When stewing chicken soup, it is wrong to stew it immediately. If you add this step, chicken soup can be delicious and tasteless.
3. After the pot and the oil are boiled, stir-fry the chicken pieces until they become discolored, then put the ginger and garlic into the pot, and stir-fry the chicken pieces directly when they are cooked, just to release the vegetable oil of the chicken pieces, so that the oil will not float on the fried noodles after stewing, endangering the appearance and taste.
The wok itself smells of rust, and the soup steamed with it is likely to turn black, so it is better to use casserole to make soup. Take a stone pot and control the water flow by yourself. Everyone must pay attention to this step. Never use cold water to make soup, or the smell of chicken pieces will come out again, and everything you have done in front will fall short. Only boiled water can keep the delicate taste of chicken pieces, and it will not dry when eaten.
5. After all the chicken pieces are put in, first boil them red, then lower the heat to the level close to that of a child, then add the red dates and medlar prepared by everyone in front, and wait for a few minutes each. After the fragrance of jujube is released, salt can be added, so that the steamed chicken soup is delicious even without chicken essence, and it will not make people feel oily at all, and children will be fascinated by it.
