Turmeric Chicken Soup





Ginger is a common vegetable. In the kitchen, it is customary. TURMERIC, however, is a member of the ginger family. You might not have realized it.

Chinese traditional medicine and seasoning both use turmeric. Even the curry paste used for curry chicken contains turmeric powder. Other common turmeric meals include turmeric congee, turmeric fried rice, and turmeric pork ribs.

The most traditional dish is chicken soup with turmeric. It is a recipe for turmeric chicken soup that boosts immunity and keeps your body feeling energized. Turmeric is a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant spice that gives this soup its beautiful yellow colour.

I'm going to share a chicken soup with turmeric in it. This chicken soup is quite simple to make and fills the house with the delightful fragrances of traditional Thai herbs. This soup is one of my favourite's because you can just dump everything into a pot and let it cook. It can be quite easy to overkill the turmeric, giving the soup a too-medicinal taste, so I recommended using fresh turmeric root rather than turmeric powder.

This dish has the added benefit of tasting even better the next day. For this soup, I'm using chicken wings. Cooking and preparation are quick. You can use whole chicken or boneless chicken breasts. You can also include fresh mushrooms in the soup


INGREDIENTS

12 pcs chicken wings (about 1.2kg)

3 tbsp fish sauce/soy sauce

1 tsp sugar

3 heads shallots, slightly cut into small cubes

10 cloves garlic, crushed

3 stalks of lemongrass, bottom part only

8 thin slices of galangal

10 kaffir lime leaves, roughly torn

4” turmeric root with skin on, slice on a sharp bias            

5 fresh bird eyes chilies, crushed

3 tbsp tamarind juice

Salt to taste

Some fresh chopped cilantros for garnishing




 

METHODS

1. Marinate chicken wings in a mixture of sugar, and fish sauce or soy sauce, and for at least one hour.

2. In a large saucepan, place all the chicken wings. Add just enough water to cover the chicken by about an inch.

3. Add shallots, garlic, lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and turmeric. Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes on low heat with a lid loosely on (chicken wings are very fast to cook).

4. Add the tamarind juice and salt to taste once the chicken is tender. Add additional crushed chilies to the soup for spicy flavour.

5. Spoon the soup into a bowl, then garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions. Enjoy this dish with some steamed rice!

Hope you find this guide useful and enjoy these turmeric chicken soup to the fullest!!

Pumpkin Sago Dessert(南瓜西米露)

Pumpkin is a very good food material, suitable for men, women and children. Although it tastes very sweet, it does not contain high sugar content. It can even be eaten by diabetics. Pumpkin sago is a dessert that many people like because it does not harm the body. So, how to make pumpkin sago? This creamy, smooth pumpkin sweet soup is one of my favorites.   So aromatic with coconut milk.   Since the soup tends to thicken, I prefer it to serve hot rather than cold. I prefer to cook coconut milk in the soup with a little salt. Coconut milk is naturally sweet and rich. Salt helps to balance these flavors, making the soup more palatable and enjoyable. Others may prefer to drizzle some coconut milk on top before serving. The main ingredients of pumpkin and sago are pumpkin and sago. The general method of cooking sago is to boil water in a pot, pour in sago and cook on low heat for about 10-15 minutes. Turn off the heat when only a little white spot is left in the middle of the ...

Hakka Braised Pork Belly with Black Fungus

There was once I went to a bookstore and found this "The Hakka Cookbook" by accident. This book's subtitle is "Chinese Soul Food Around the World". According to the text, Hakka food exhibits the Hakka people's economical, not luxurious, and generous hospitality. Hakka cuisine has many health benefits because the Hakka people are dedicated to their pursuit of methods of preserving health and are skilled in utilizing the scientific principles concealed in nature. Hakka food has currently established itself as a representation of Cantonese cuisine. The two primary specialties are Hakka-stuffed tofu and salt-baked chicken. This meal is available at restaurants and is highly well-liked. Braised Pork Belly with Black Fungus is one of the dishes from this book that I have come across. Although the black fungus does not have a pleasing appearance, it is incredibly nutrient-rich. A daily intake of 5 to 10 grams of black fungus can support cardiovascular heal...

Ants Climbing A Tree (蚂蚁上树)

This dish is really interesting– Ants Climbing Trees! The name sounds like a small animal, but it is actually made with vermicelli or glass noodles and minces meat. This dish may seem simple, but it is actually rich in content. It is mainly made of glass noodles paired with fresh minced meat, and carefully seasoned with ginger, garlic, shallots, spicy bean paste, soy sauce, sugar and other condiments. Sometimes I cook it and serve it alone as breakfast, lunch, and even dinner. Sometimes I serve it with white rice. Either way, it is a very satisfying dish on my dinner table. The glass noodles were smooth, the minced meat was fragrant, and it tasted a little spicy due to the spicy bean paste.   It was delicious. The reason why this dish name as “ants climbing trees” is because the fried minced meat looks like little ants climbing on the “branch” of glass noodles. When preparing Ants Climbing a Tree, keep in mind that the glass noodles will absorb the sauce quickly.   Incre...
