When stewing chicken soup, it is often used to remove water foam and add ginger or other spices to remove the fishy smell of stewed chicken soup and stew, but there are still some fishy smells that can not be completely removed in the pot, which will actually make the soup taste It’s even more impure. Here I can tell you a little trick, it’s very simple, that is: when you start to stew the chicken soup, let it cool under the water and slowly boil it with the smallest fire. Cook until the froth and some impurities come up completely, and smell it. It smells terribly smelly. After a fishy smell, take the chicken out of the pot, then pour out the water, rinse the chicken with warm water and rub it, and finally change the pot of water. Remember to use boiled or warm water. Use cold water to completely remove the fishy smell. After adding green onion and ginger, the final chicken soup you cook will only be thick and fragrant!

Stewed Chicken Drumsticks with Mushrooms

1. Rinse the drumsticks well to control the water.

2. Wash the dates and wolfberries, soak them in warm water for a while, rinse the dried mushrooms and soak them in warm water for 1 hour.

3. Pour a sufficient amount of water into the pot, put the chicken legs under cold water, remove the chicken legs after a low heat, pour out the water, change the pot to boiling water or warm water and cook again.

4. Add sliced green onion and ginger, soaked red dates, goji berries, and shiitake mushrooms and simmer for 2 hours. Sprinkle some salt seasoning before drinking.

Tips:
1. If you use dried shiitake mushrooms, pour the water of soaking shiitake mushrooms into the soup and boil together, the fragrance will be stronger, so you can wash the mushrooms carefully. It is said that the water used for soaking mushrooms is rich in nutrients, and you can use it to give a "spa" massage to areas that are prone to dryness on the body such as calves, arms, etc., so that the epidermal cells can fully absorb water, and the skin will be softer and whiter.

2. If you are afraid of the oil in the chicken soup, you can put the cooked chicken soup in a cool place, and after the oil has solidified, skim it off, and then reheat it for consumption.

3. Dried or fresh shiitake mushrooms can be used in this soup, and the nutritional value is the same.
