Easy Chinese Chicken Soup

This soup is very easy to prepare, not only a healthy choice of soup but also low in calories for those who are looking after their diet. I remember my mum always cook this soup for supper whenever we were close to exam period during the school days. 

Ingredients:

1. 1 kampong chicken (you can also use mixed breed or ordinary chicken but its better you have their fatty skins removed)
2. 1/2 tsp of salt
3. Dried chinese mushroom (soaked and soften)
4. Chopped gingers
5. Red dates (Fung Zhao)
6. Wolfberries (Kee Tzu)
7. Water (Enough to cover chicken)

Method:

1. After cleaning the chicken, chop it to bite sizes and place the chicken meats in a bowl. Evenly rub the chicken with salt.
2. Sprinkle ginger on top of it. Add in the red dates, wolfberries and dried mushroom.
3. Bring some water (enough to cover chicken) to boil.
4. Carefully transfer bowl with chicken to the pot and cover tightly.
5. Boil at low fire for 1 - 2 hours depending on how soft you want the chicken to be and flavourful the soup to be. Normally people boil up to two hours if they are adding Yok Choy or chinese herbs which is optional for this recipe.
6. If you want a quicker one, you can also steam it for 30 minutes.
