Categories     Chicken Soups

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pound(s) chicken
3 tablespoon(s) sesame oil
6 slice(s) ginger
1/2 cup(s) sherry
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
2 cup(s) warm water
1 teaspoon(s) sugar
1/2 cup(s) mushrooms, drained
1 - bunch of fresh asparagus

Steps:

  • Preparation: Rinse chicken, remove fat pockets, pat dry, and chop into bite-size pieces.
  • Wash and cut asparagus into 2\" sections.
  • NOTE: If tempted to use breast meat without bones, please don\'t; bones add to body and flavor of soup.
  • Peel and slice ginger root.
  • Wash and cut asparagus into 2\" sections.
  • Braising: Heat wok to medium hot then add sesame oil and start braising chicken a few pieces at a time when oil begins to smell.
  • Sesame oil will burn at lower temperature than other cooking oils, so avoid hot wok.
  • After browning lightly, return chicken pieces to wok; add ginger slices, sherry and salt.
  • When sherry boils, add water and sugar.
  • Turn up heat, bring to boil, then reduce heat to simmer, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Add mushrooms and asparagus, simmer for another 15 minutes.
  • Transfer to covered soup tureen (or put plate on top of soup bowl), place in steamer on low, and hold until ready to serve.
