Drunken Chicken Soup

Ingredients

• 2 lbs
• 4 tbsp sesame oil
• 6 of 4 inch ginger slices
• 3 cups Shao xing wine
• 4 cups
• Salt and sugar to taste

Steps

1. Remove any extra fat from the chicken and its cavity.
2. Leave the skin on and cut the chicken into bite-size pieces (with bones). You most likely need a cleaver to get this job done.
3. If you are not a fan of chopping chicken with its bone, you can use boneless chicken thighs/breast or whatever you prefer or leg quarters.
4. Heat a large pot or wok until really hot. Add in the sesame oil. Add in the ginger slices and stir fry until really fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Add in the chicken pieces and stir-fry until the chicken turn opaque, about 5 minutes or so.
6. Bring it to a boil and then lower the heat to let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
7. Add in 5 cup of water, salt and sugar and then bring it back to a boil and then lower the heat to let it simmer for the next 1 hour or until the meat is cooked through and tender.
8. Have a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
