How to make chestnut chicken soup

1. The first step is of course to prepare the ingredients. Peeling chestnuts is a difficult problem, but as smart as I am, it is very simple now!

2. Put the chestnuts in a pot, add water and boil for about 5-8 minutes, then pour into cold water to cool. This step is to separate the chestnuts from the shells. The cooking time should not be too long, otherwise the chestnuts will easily become powdery.

3. When you suddenly put the chestnuts into cold water from hot water, most of them will crack, which makes them easy to peel. You can also choose to cut a hole with scissors before cooking. I peeled a full bowl of chestnuts, and I was happy just looking at it.

4. After cleaning the chestnuts, wash the ginger. In fact, chicken cooked with ginger is very delicious. Many times, my parents and I would eat up the chestnuts and ginger, and the rest would be chicken. Chicken cooked with ginger can remove greasiness.

5. Wash the ginger and slice it for later use

6. While I was cooking chestnuts, my mother was busy slaughtering a chicken, so by the time I finished preparing, her chicken was also ready, in a big pot!

7. Once all the ingredients are ready, you can start cooking. First, fry the chicken. Every time we cook chicken at home, we don’t add oil, and we even save the excess chicken oil. Domestic chickens are fat. After frying, leave a proper amount of oil in the pan and pour the chicken into the pan and stir-fry. After a few minutes, add the ginger. (Because it is a laying chicken, some small egg yolks will break during the frying process, and it feels yellow)

8. After the chicken has changed color and released fragrance for about 5 minutes, pour in the chestnuts and stir-fry for a few minutes. (Note that the chestnuts should not be overcooked at the beginning, otherwise they will easily become mushy if cooked together with the chicken)

9. After stir-frying evenly, add boiling water to just cover all the ingredients. Because the pot at home is small, you can't put too much water. My family never cooks too much soup, so there is very little soup when it is cooked to the best. (Friends who like to drink soup can reduce the amount of chicken and chestnuts by half and add more water to cook)

10. Then just keep cooking until the chicken is cooked through and then you can serve. This process is relatively long because local chickens are very chewy. Some people like to use a pressure cooker to cook it so that the soup remains and the chicken remains tender, but I personally prefer cooking it in a pot as I feel the taste is better than that in a pressure cooker.

How to cook pork ribs stewed with chestnuts

The specific method of stewing chestnut ribs is as follows:

(1) Remove the shell and skin of the chestnuts and set aside. Wash and chop the ribs and cook them in boiling water for a while. When the ribs change color, remove them and drain them for later use.

(2) Pour some cooking oil (preferably vegetable oil) into the pot and heat it up. Put the chestnut kernels in and fry them. When the surface becomes slightly crispy, remove them from the pot.

(3) Put the ribs into the pot, add a little onion, ginger, garlic, cooking wine, rock sugar, salt and other seasonings, add appropriate amount of broth and stew. When the ribs are cooked until soft, add chestnut kernels and cook. When the chestnuts become soft, turn off the heat, add chicken essence, sesame oil and other seasonings and simmer for a few minutes.

Chestnut stewed pork ribs retains most of the nutrients in chestnuts and pork ribs. Eating it in moderation has many benefits for the body.
