Please introduce the classic practice of medicinal chicken soup?

Chicken soup is a traditional soup dish, and its main raw materials are chicken, water and seasonings. Chicken soup, especially old hen soup, has always been famous for its delicious taste. Chicken soup can also relieve cold symptoms and improve human immune function.

Third, matters needing attention

1, you can also stew it in a ceramic container with a lid (this kind of stew is the most mellow, and it is a common stew method in Cantonese cuisine), put the lid of the container with the ingredients in a steamer, wet seal the container with gauze paper if possible (adjust the taste first), and steam it for about 2 hours.

2. If you stew in a steamer, you don't need to drain water, but condense it into soup by steam. The taste is very rich and mellow, and the stew method is similar to the stew method.

No matter what kind of stewing method is used, it is best to take out the chicken oil and stew it to avoid being too greasy.
