How to make chicken soup fragrant, delicious and not fishy? 4 little tips to make chicken soup tasty and nutritious

There is a saying that 'without chicken, no meal'. This shows that chicken is a dish that is commonly served on people's tables. Chicken has many ways of cooking, such as boiling, stir-frying, and stewing, all of which are popular. Especially for the elderly, children, and pregnant women who are recovering from childbirth, a bowl of chicken soup is indispensable. We often eat white cut chicken because the method is simple and convenient, suitable for office workers. However, when it's spring in Jiangnan, we use bamboo shoots and salted pork to make a pot of chicken soup, which is very delicious. According to the elders, when salted pork and fresh ingredients are combined to cook, it's called 'Wumulu Stew', and the soup made in this way is particularly flavorful.

So how to cook chicken soup? Chicken meat is tender and juicy, fragrant, delicious and not fishy. When cooking chicken soup, some people like to blanch the chicken first, while others cook it directly. This is not the best way. I'm going to share a few tips with you. Before putting the chicken into the pot, do one more step, and you don't need to blanch the chicken, and the soup made is very fragrant and delicious.

1 You can put the chicken meat into rice water and soak it for 20 minutes. Because rice water has the effect of removing fishy smell and impurities, and can also make the chicken meat more tender. 2 In clear water, add an appropriate amount of salt, and then put the chicken meat into it to soak for 20 minutes. Because the density of salt water is greater than blood, the blood will automatically come out after soaking. 3 You can add an appropriate amount of liquor to the clear water and put the chicken meat in to soak for 30 minutes. This not only removes the fishy smell, but also makes the chicken soup more fragrant. 4 You can also add ginger, scallion, salt and a little vinegar to the clear water to soak. This will also make the chicken meat more tender. Use one of these four methods to soak the chicken meat before putting it in the pot. After boiling, you can remove the scum.

Salted Pork and Mushroom Chicken

Ingredients: Half a chicken, 1 piece of bamboo shoots, 150g of mushrooms, 1 small piece of salted pork, a little salt, appropriate amount of liquor

Method: 1 First, wash half a chicken and cut it into small pieces. Cut the salted pork into thinner slices. 2 Wash the mushrooms and peel the bamboo shoots, cutting them into small pieces. For stewing, I like to use the older part of the bamboo shoot, and the tender part is used to make other dishes. 3 Put the cut chicken meat into clear water with liquor, and soak it for 30 minutes before taking it out and putting it together with the salted pork into the pot. 4 After boiling, remove the scum, add a little liquor, bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium heat and simmer slowly. 5 After stewing for 20 minutes, put the washed mushrooms and mushroom pieces into the pot and continue to cook. 6 Continue to stew until the chicken soup becomes more fragrant, the chicken meat is rotten, add an appropriate amount of salt to adjust the taste. 7 Simmer for 5 more minutes, then you can turn off the heat. 8 The chicken soup made in this way is particularly delicious, flavorful and not greasy.

Tips: 1 The cooking time should be according to the age of the chicken. If it's old hen, you need to cook it for a longer time. 2 The ingredients in the soup can be added according to your own preference, except for salted pork. 3 The amount of salt can be adjusted according to your own taste, because salted pork already has a flavor.
