How to make Chicken Hotpot with Wormwood
-
Prepare the ingredients
After buying the chicken, wash it thoroughly and rub salt on the surface of the chicken to eliminate the fishy smell.
Then, chop the chicken into small bite-sized pieces. Squeeze the chicken entrails with salt and rinse several times with water, then cut the entrails into small pieces.
Trim the mushrooms by removing the stems, wash them clean, and let them drain for serving.
Pick the wormwood and other greens you want to eat with, wash them with diluted salt water, and place them in a basket to drain well.
Wash the corn and cut it into sections.

Marinate the chicken
Next, marinate the chicken with minced shallots, smashed lemongrass, 2 tablespoons of seasoning, and 1 tablespoon of monosodium glutamate, mixing well to ensure the chicken absorbs the spices, then let it rest for about 30 minutes.
-
Fry the tofu
Cut the tofu into small bite-sized pieces and fry until golden brown on all sides, then place them on a plate lined with paper towels.
-
Cooking the broth
You put chicken bones and chicken intestines into a pot with 1.5 liters of water and bring it to a boil. When the water boils, add the Chinese herbs to cook along with it.
During the boiling process, you should lower the heat, simmer for about 20 minutes, and skim off the foam. After that, you season to taste, adding sweet corn to enhance the sweetness and reduce the fat.
-
Finished product
You pour the hotpot broth into a smaller pot and place it on a mini gas stove set in the center of the table.
Add chicken meat and fertilized duck eggs into the hotpot. When the water boils, add tofu, various mushrooms, and dip the accompanying vegetables and wormwood into the pot to enjoy.
Tips for successful execution:
- Strain the bones to cook the hotpot broth; thinly slice the meat to cook quickly and be more tender when dipped in the hotpot.
- Wormwood dipped in the hotpot should be taken out to eat immediately because if left too long, it will become bitter and hard to eat.
- You can choose not to use Chinese herbs for the hotpot broth depending on your family’s taste.
- It’s best to choose black chicken for a more nutritious and tender hotpot that pairs well with wormwood.
- Pregnant women in their first three months and those with acute intestinal disorders or hepatitis should not eat too much wormwood.
