How to make the most delicious braised chicken

Ingredients: 1 three-yellow free-range chicken, 50 grams of fresh mushrooms, carrots, enoki mushrooms, fungus. Accessories: 2 eggs, a little onion, a little ginger, a little garlic, 50 grams of cooking wine, 40 grams of soy sauce, 10 grams of sugar, 10 grams of sweet noodle sauce, 1 gram of salt, 50 grams of peanut oil

Method 1

Step 1: Drain the blood from the chicken first to prevent the chicken from having a fishy or strange smell, and also to prevent the chicken from becoming rancid. Step 2: Stew. Add a certain proportion of water and a certain proportion of sauce (a mixture of oyster sauce, soy sauce, light soy sauce, cooking wine, etc.) to ginger, mushrooms, chili peppers, and chicken pieces and simmer in a pressure cooker. There is a difference in stewing time between the north and the south. Northerners like to eat boneless meat, while southerners like to eat chewy meat, so the stewing time in the north is longer than that in the south. The third step: collect the sauce. Usually a casserole is used to collect the sauce. The purpose is to preserve the original flavor of the braised chicken for a long time. When reducing the sauce, add appropriate seasonal vegetables to ensure that the braised chicken has meat, soup, and vegetables, and is rich in color, aroma, and taste. How to make rice: The rice used in braised chicken rice is made from Northeastern rice. The more particular method is to "fry it twice". The rice made in this way has loose rice grains, not as sticky as ordinary rice, and has a chewy taste with a rich aftertaste.
