The first time I ate this soup was in a Cantonese restaurant, the name on the menu was "Ginseng Stewed Bamboo Silk Chicken" - the snow-white stew cup was served, the lid was lifted, and a fresh stream came to the nose, the soup was clear, the bone crispy meat was rotten, a few pieces of ginseng and a few slices of ham at the bottom of the cup - impressive, both visual and tasteful; and also knew another title of black bone chicken in the south - "bamboo silk chicken".
This soup can be regarded as a very famous old fire soup in Cantonese cuisine, and it can also be regarded as a medicinal food, especially suitable for women to enjoy during menstruation. Black chicken and ginseng are all excellent yin nourishing herbs. Ginseng can benefit the lungs and yin, clear the fire, and quench thirst. Cure lung deficiency cough, blood loss, dry throat thirst, hypothermia and tiredness. Black chicken contains the indispensable lysine, methionine and histidine of the human body, which has a high tonic and medicinal value, especially rich in melanin, which has the effects of nourishing yin, nourishing blood, replenishing deficiency and anti-aging.
Delicious, delicious, tonic, nutritious - want to stew soup is not a difficult thing, no matter what, but also to concoct it yourself, even if it does not reach the level of professional chefs, but also to draw a scoop according to the gourd; do not know how many medicinal materials to use in the old fire soup, then from the eyes to see the starting point; as long as the main ingredient is authentic, the taste will never be bad; at least will not use MSG, chicken essence and so on to flavor, maybe safer, more nourishing.
To sum up my experience in stewing this soup, nutrition is no problem, just put all the ingredients together and stew. However, in order to taste more delicious and not lose nutrients, there are still some small ways -
First of all, the chicken should be good. Intensive breeding, fast out of the barn of the black chicken, almost the water rolled on the rotten, this kind of black chicken is neither delicious, more ineffective, put a little chili soy sauce fried as a meat dish is also enough. The black chicken used to stew soup nourishment must also be a free-range chicken, whether it is white hair, black hair or flower hair, as long as the chicken bone is black, it has the tonic effect of black bone chicken, and the taste is particularly delicious.
Secondly, two processes - the first step, water stew chicken, stew until 7, 8 mature; the second step, stew through water - put the chicken and the original soup together into the stew cup, add ginseng, cover the stew cup cover, and then stew again, so as to effectively retain the nutrition and efficacy of Ginseng and prevent nutrient loss;
Third, when stewing in water, add a few slices of ham, no need for MSG, chicken essence and the like, the soup is stewed out to be called a fresh!
All ingredients are extremely easy to come by, and with a little patience and effort, delicious and nourishing are at your fingertips.
