What is the authentic way to steam white-cut chicken?

There are many ways to cook chicken, and it all depends on personal taste. From a nutritional point of view, the nutritional value of chicken is no worse than that of beef and mutton, and the price of chicken is relatively low, so it is more affordable. Especially for people who have undergone surgery, drinking some chicken soup can also help the body recover better. So, what is the authentic way to steam white-cut chicken?

raw material:

One three-yellow chicken (or small grass chicken), appropriate amounts of green onion, ginger, shallot, cooking wine, sesame oil, salt, sugar, pepper and chicken powder.

Steps:

1. Wash the three-yellow chicken and remove the internal organs. Then stuff the scallion and ginger slices into the chicken's stomach. Place the chicken on a plate, pour a little cooking wine on it, then cover it with appropriate amount of ginger slices and scallion segments, put it into a steamer and steam it over high heat.

2. After the water boils, turn the chicken over after steaming for about three or four minutes, then cover with a lid and continue steaming for two or three minutes. Then turn off the heat and do not lift the lid. Simmer for 5 minutes.

3. Chop the scallions, shallots and ginger into small pieces, add salt, a little white pepper, a pinch of sugar and chicken powder, pour in sesame oil, stir evenly, and leave it for two or three minutes to allow the scallion juice and ginger juice to come out. This is the dipping sauce. Then cut the chicken into pieces, place on a plate, and eat with the sauce!

Additional notes:

Steaming poached chicken is a foolproof method as you won’t overcook the chicken due to poor control of the heat. It is especially suitable for kitchen novices who don’t have good cooking skills. It is difficult to control the time when cooking the chicken, and the chicken loses a lot of moisture and aroma. It takes about six or seven minutes to steam a chicken, but because the firepower of each stove is different and the size of the chicken is different, the time may vary a little.

In addition, this dish can also be made with small grass chicken, which is also very delicious.
