How to cook deliciously - Chicken Soup With Ginger and Shiitake Mushrooms

1. Stage

Soak the dried mushrooms: Soak the dried mushrooms in the hot water for 20 minutes. Use a bowl or a smaller pot to keep the mushrooms submerged in the water.

2. Stage

Marinate the chicken: While the mushrooms are soaking, mix the soy, sugar, salt, and cornstarch in a large bowl. Make sure there are no cornstarch lumps. Add the chicken and ginger to the bowl, toss to coat with the marinade, and set aside.

3. Stage

Slice the mushrooms and add to the chicken: When the mushrooms have softened, remove from the water (saving the soaking liquid) and slice thinly. Add the mushrooms into the bowl with the chicken. If the soaking water has grit in it, pour the soaking water through a fine-meshed sieve lined with a paper towel into another bowl.

4. Stage

Simmer: Put the chicken-mushroom mixture and the mushroom soaking liquid into a medium pot and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a bare simmer, cover the pot, and cook gently for 25 minutes. Serve hot. Did you love the recipe? Give us some stars and leave a comment below!
