Ginseng Cordyceps Chicken Soup in Pumpkin Pot - 人 参 虫 草 鸡 汤 炖 金 瓜 盅

 


Preparation for Soups: (Serving 5-6 pax)

1 whole          Chicken without head. (Washed clean, chicken feet-nails to be cut.)
                      ( Cut all chicken into small pieces.)
1 pckt            Ginseng Cordyceps herbs - Uncle Sun (Brand of your own choice)
                      Salt - to own taste.
5 litres            Water.

Use a big pot enough to boil 5 litres of water with all the ingredients together for 1/2 hr,
then lower heat & let it simmer. (Try your own taste)

Pumpkin Pot:

Ingredients: (Serving 4 pax)

2 whole           Pumpkins.

Methods:

1.           Washed, cut the pumpkins into halves and scrape off all the seeds.


2.           Place each half of pumpkin into a bowl just nice to fit in. Repeat balance halves
              with same.


3.          Heat up wok/steamer with water enough for steaming/stewing.
4.          Place/arrange nicely the pumpkin bowls in a wok or steamer. 
             (Now come back to the pot of soup) Then from the pot of soup, collect &
             distribute equally the herbs, chicken pieces together with some soups, 
             and put into the pumpkin bowls. (Fill till full will do)


5.         When everything is ready, cover the wok with lid and start to stew for 1/2 hr.
6.         Open lid to check whether water for stewing lessen - just add, or soup in the 
            pumpkin bowl lessen - just add soup from the pot. Cover the lid again and 
            continue stewing for another 1/2 hr.
7.         Turn off heat, also for the pot of soup. (dont forget)
8.         Ready to serve each one a bowl.

Note :

The pumpkin flesh is nice to eat, very sweet. If the soup is not enough, can refill
from the pot of soup but the taste is a little different without the pumpkin..
