I had a headache a while ago, so my mother made me Chinese Herbal Chicken Soup .

- ·10g Wolfberry
Seasonings
- ·10g Ginger
- ·20ml Cooking wine
DIRECTIONS
Step 1
Ingredients preparation: cut the ginger into slices, prepare a clean whole chicken, Gastrodia elata (dried Gastrodia elata needs to be soaked in advance, fresh Gastrodia elata needs to be washed and sliced), red dates (pitted), and wolfberries.
Step 2
Preparation: Put chicken, gastrodia elata, ginger slices, red dates and wolfberries into the pot in turn.
Step 3
Add water: Add enough hot water to the pot. The amount of hot water should cover the ingredients to ensure the stewing effect.
Step 4
Add cooking wine to remove fishy smell: Add appropriate amount of cooking wine, which can effectively remove the fishy smell of chicken and enhance the flavor of the soup.
Step 5
Cover the pot: Make sure the lid is properly closed to reduce water loss and heat loss during the stewing process.
