How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken
- Choose a chicken with characteristic golden skin, thin, smooth outer skin, good elasticity, and the meat inside should have a natural pinkish-red color, not too pale or too dark, with minimal bruises or blood clots.
- Press with your hand to check if the chicken is water-injected. If the chicken is mushy, slippery, or deformed, do not buy it.
- If buying frozen chicken, select from supermarkets or reputable stores to ensure product quality.
How to choose fresh and delicious ginger
- Fresh and delicious ginger has a firm, shiny skin, feels heavy when held, and has a solid texture.
- You should choose ginger that is still whole, and when smelling, it has the characteristic aroma of ginger.
- Avoid buying ginger with signs of spoilage; when held, the ginger feels mushy (some parts hard, some soft), and avoid buying ginger with too many small branches. These are old ginger roots that are fibrous, and when cooked, the dish will not taste good.

Add the chicken to cook with the ginger-rice wine mixture
Next, in the pot with ginger rice wine, open the lid and add the chicken, then add enough water to just cover the chicken, adjust the heat to medium and bring to a boil.
When the water boils, reduce the heat and cook for another 20 minutes until the chicken is done. When the chicken is cooked, season with 1/2 tablespoon of salt and 1/2 tablespoon of monosodium glutamate.
Taste and adjust the seasoning again as needed, then turn off the heat.
