Chinese believe that ginseng is very good to health. I use some fresh ginseng to made the famous Cantonese slow cooking Ginseng Chicken soup. I live alone and cannot eat one whole chicken. Luckily supermarket has some chicken bones on sale which is only good for soup making.
Cooking method
- Clean 3 stems of fresh ginseng, Chinese herbs and chicken bone
- Par boil chicken bone to get rid of excess fat
- Boil 4 bowls of water
- Tuck ginseng into chicken tummy and add to water together with other ingredients
- When reboil, turn down heat and let it simmer for an hour
- Turn to high heat for 3 minutes
- Add salt before dishing up
