Is the boiled chicken a rooster or a hen?
It is best to cut the chicken with a tender cock.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cock belongs to yang, which has a strong warming and tonifying effect and is suitable for patients with yang deficiency and weak qi. Hens are yin in nature, and their nourishing effect is mild and slow, which is suitable for those who are in labor, old, weak and chronically ill. Chicken is healthy and nourishing high-quality meat, which is more suitable for human absorption like fish.
Roosters are more suitable for eating meat, and hens are more suitable for making soup. In addition, the cock's kidney contains more adrenaline, so it must be removed before eating. Adrenaline is easy to cause blood pressure and blood sugar to rise, and it is one of the three major glands of livestock prohibited by health departments. The kidney is also called "hair".
A little knowledge of white-cut chicken
White-cut chicken, also known as white-cut chicken and three-crisp chicken, is a traditional dish in Cantonese cuisine and is often used as a cold dish in banquets and banquets. Boiled chicken began in private restaurants in the Qing Dynasty. Because there is no seasoning when cooking, it is cut when eating, so it is called "white-cut chicken". Sanhuang chicken (yellow feet, yellow skin and yellow mouth) produced in Yangshan County, Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province is also called Sanhuang chicken because of its materials. Later, all restaurants and delicatessens in Guangdong operated "white chopped chicken", which not only used fine materials, but also served cooked "shrimp paste" with chicken. This dish is golden in color, crispy and tender. Extremely delicious, I can't get tired of eating for a long time.
