this is a real kitchen. i have been experimenting with making fresh chicken soup ... as in from scratch. my mom always says never use frozen chicken so she went to the market ... a chinese market to get the chicken. you can pick out the one you want and they will do the rest.
simple chicken soup
1 fresh chicken
2 pieces of lean pork meat 6 ounces each
1 ginger
3 bunch of spring onions
3 tablespoon of chinese cooking wine
1 pinch of salt
the lady in the market doesn't really help you get rid of the chicken fat so you have to do it yourself when you get home. cut away all the chicken skin and excess fat as much as possible. use a very sharp knife.
place the chicken and lean meat pieces (those meat help give the soup its complement flavors) in a pot and fill it up with water to cover partially to the tip of the chicken. place pot on the stove. turn on the fire to HI.
peel ginger, slice it into several pieces and use the flat part of knife and bang the slices till a bit of juice comes out. place the ginger slices in the pot. clean and cut the spring onions and add them to the brew as well as the rest of the ingredients.
when the water reached to a boil lower the fire till the water only bubble up onces or twice and cover.
slow boiling for 3 hours ... keep checking your soup 1 hour at a time.
after 3 hours let the soup cool and get rid of the excess oil floating on the top layer. best is to place the pot of soup in the refigerator after the pot is cooled. it is much easier that way to scoop the excess oil out.
when you want to enjoy a bowl of soup reheat and savor the flavor!
any question?
