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!!

Fried Taro Puff Dumplings (Woo KOK 芋角)

Taro puff dumplings or Woo Kok ( 芋角 ) are another must-eat snack when you go to a restaurant. The outside is honeycomb-shaped, and the inside is soft and smooth. Even if you go to a restaurant to eat, not every restaurant makes them crispy. And for that reason, I decided to learn how to make this snack. Someone once told me, because of the complicated workmanship, it is difficult to make at home. She advised me not to spend effort on it. If you know me well, I always like to challenge my limits. Today, I will show you how to make them! The fillings of taro dumplings must contain pork, dried shrimps, and mushrooms! The filling can be prepared one day ahead. The dumpling skin is made of taro paste. I am using Areca taro ( 槟榔芋 ). It has a tough, brown exterior with an interior that is white/beige in color with purple flecks. The ideal taro for this recipe will be more mature and starchier. The hardest and most tiresome step of the entire process is frying Woo Kok. A crispy crust w...

Steamed Spareribs With Sand Ginger （沙姜蒸排骨）

Steamed spareribs with sand ginger is a delicious Cantonese dish. The main ingredients are spareribs and sand ginger. Sand ginger, also known as galangal, is a spicy spice that adds a unique flavor to this dish. It is one of four types of galangals, a rhizome in the ginger family. Fresh sand ginger is paler in color on the inside and woodier and coarser in texture than standard ginger. As a result, it is more difficult to peel and grate. So, I just cleaned it with a tiny brush and chopped it with the skin. Fresh sand ginger might not be available at other places, so they will powder form instead. When dried, the flavor becomes a little less intense. I love how the fresh sand ginger tastes when combined with other spices or ingredients to create the sauce for meat. Apart from the ribs, I also add glass noodles and yuba or dried tofu skin. The ribs, glass noodles and dried tofu skin absorb all the sauce, enhanced by the flavor of sand ginger and oyster sauce. You can use san...

Steamed Chicken With Cordyceps Flowers and Shitake Mushrooms （虫草花香菇蒸鸡）

Steam chicken is the easiest way of cooking with health benefits, and delicious flavor. Just simply marinate the bite sized pieces of chicken for minutes to obtain a basic flavor then steam for 20 to 25 minutes. That’s so simple. My husband loves steam food. This is due to the fact that steaming food is nutrient preservation, calorie and fat reduction. Additionally, it keeps the natural flavor to the maximum. Normally, I will add mushrooms, lily blossoms and black fungus for additional texture. For this recipe, I replace the lily blossoms with cordyceps flowers. It is a type of orange-yellow grass and it’s good for nourishing the lungs and kidneys, protecting the liver, nourishing skin and beauty, and improving immunity. It is extremely delicious when used to make soup or steam dishes! You don’t have to add water to the chicken, the marinade, chicken, and mushrooms release a broth-like mix of fluids that tastes amazing over rice. Are you drooling? This is an easy and delicious ...
