As most of you may know, ginseng have been traditional taken to aid many health condition and often taken for general health. it's taken to improve thinking ability (good for work n studies), anti-inflammation and improve immunology system and many others.
As I have been working hard lately and find myself get easily tired and poor focus. I decided to make some tonic and herbal to drink. Mom says, ones get younger by consuming tonic.
The Ginseng that I came across at Tastefully is small and slim but the aroma n flavour is powerful. The leaves and stem is also edible.
Since we got this good stuff, I have make into a Ginseng Chicken Soup, double boil for 8 hours to consume.
Ingredients :
1 pc x Korea Fresh Ginseng
1 Whole Chicken leg n Thigh
2 pcs x Jujube
Pitch of salt
Step :
1) Boil water - you will need it to pour into the double boil electric boiler.
2) Clean chicken and de-skin. Remove any fats.
3) Boil the chicken in another pot and let it boil over 15 - 20 mins or until completely cooked.
4) Wash ginseng thoroughly and de-seed jujube.
5) Place chicken, ginseng and jujube into the ceramic pot, pour in hot water, cover it and put into the double boiler.
6) I turn under high heat until the water is very hot then switch to auto to let it simmer for 8 hours.
The soup is clear and golden in colour.
Double boil
Cover with a ceramic lid.
Double boil, is a Chinese cooking technique that is commonly used to cook soup and herbal. It uses a ceramic jar put inside the larger pot filled with hot water. The soup is cooked from heat generated from the steam. It cook over long hours, 6 - 8 hours, to finish.
