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!!

Ondeh-Ondeh in 3 flavour (椰丝球)

Today made a popular dessert in Malaysia, “Ondeh Ondeh”, a type of Nyonya recipe. It is also called “Buah Melaka” because it looks like the fruit of the Malacca tree. The procedure of making is easy. The flavoured glutinous rice balls have grated fresh coconut on the outside and melting Gula Melaka, or palm sugar, inside. The white, milky coconut shreds and little balls of various colours appear fresh and natural. and has a charming appearance. The glutinous rice balls, soft glutinous and chewy are determined by the amount of water and cooking time. The softer the rice balls, the more water and more time it boiled. We like our coconut shreds to be moist and crisp, the melted Gula Melaka to be rich and flavorful, and the texture to be somewhat mushy and sticky. It seems like the nostalgic flavour of my childhood is returning. In addition to the traditional pandan flavour, I have included instructions for making it with sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Of all the flavours of "ondeh...

Dong Po Rou (东坡肉)

Dong Po Rou (东坡肉) – wine braised pork belly. It’s rich and savoury, tender that melts into your mouth. Traditionally, the pork belly is pan-fried before being braised or stewed for one to one and a half hours on low heat. Some of the recipes even call for steaming for an additional half an hour after stewing. It is very time-consuming. But as you are aware, I enjoy making recipes simpler without compromising the taste. You, too, I'm sure. Therefore, I skipped the pan-frying step and proceeded directly to braising the pork after blanching it, and then continued to cook with a pressure cooker. Don't worry; the dish's flavour remains unaffected. I'm hoping this simplified method may come in handy for your regular cooking. Trim off the edges of the pork and cut it into 3x3 cubes. Tie cooking twine around each cube. This will assist the cubes in keeping their form while cooking. If the pork that you bought is at the mid portion of the belly is ideal, there is a nice bala...
