燉雞湯 (DOUBLE-BOILED CHICKEN SOUP)

Ingredients :-

800g chicken

1 packet (100g) mixed Chinese herbs

1 tablespoon wolfberries

6 red dates

2 litres waterSalt to taste (optional)

1. Cut chicken into large pieces, each about the same size. Place chicken and herbs into the smaller, inner pot. Add water until ¾ full.

2. Fill half the outer port with water.

3. Place smaller pot inside. Over medium fire, bring water to a boil. Simmer for 2 hours. Check the level of water after 1 hour, adding more boiling water to outer pot. If using a slow cooker, double the cooking time and cook at high.

4. When chicken is tender - flesh comes off the bone easily - use a spoon to skim impurities off the surface of the soup. Season with salt. Serve hot.

TIP : For healthier soup, remove skin. Always use hot water for outer port.
