Cooking Steps
Step1:First of all, we will introduce the gourmet artifact, the steam pot. The key is the chimney like hole in the middle.
Step2:A native chicken. Kill it and wash it. Must raise the native chicken. And not too big. 2 to 3 jin can.
Step3:Cut it. Put it in the steamer. Add a proper amount of salt. Heat and saute the straw fruit in the microwave first. Rinse the dried mushroom well. Put in two pieces of ginger together. Remember - don't add water.
Step4:This is the most important step - use a pot of the right size. Add enough cold water. Put the steam pot on. Mix the parts with a little batter to prevent steam leakage. Heat it up first. Turn it down. Steam for about 4 hours. If there is not enough water in the lower pot, add boiling water from the hole of the steam pot halfway.
Step5:Finished product. The soup in the pot is all steam driven. It's delicious and nutritious. This chicken is a little bigger. There is less soup.
Cooking tips:Some tourists come to Yunnan. They are disappointed to eat the chicken in the steam pot. It's not that the chicken in the steam pot is not good. It's because the restaurant's chicken in the steam pot uses the feed chicken. The second is actually stewed and put into the steam pot. In fact, there is no difficulty in cooking. I set it as intermediate. It just needs special cooking utensils and enough time. The ingredients are the same as stewed chicken soup. You can add Panax notoginseng, Dendrobium, gastrodia, ginseng, ham, pectin, cold fungus and so on. The key is not to add water to the boiler. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
