Quick Overview

The recipe for savory and tender braised chicken (Mian Chicken) involves first cleaning and marinating chopped chicken pieces with starch, oil, cooking wine, salt, sugar, and white pepper, followed by stir-frying aromatics (scallions, garlic, ginger) and the chicken to drive out moisture, then simmering the chicken in water with pre-soaked peanuts, dried shiitake mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, and daylily buds, and finally adding sliced bell peppers to finish the dish.

Key Points: The process begins by preparing chopped chicken (costing 50 RMB for one chicken), removing the head, and marinating it for 30 minutes with two spoonfuls of starch, one spoonful of cooking oil, two spoonfuls of cooking wine, and a small amount of salt. Aromatics including sliced scallions, sliced garlic, and shredded ginger are stir-fried in hot oil until fragrant before adding the marinated chicken pieces to stir-fry over high heat to remove excess moisture. After stir-frying, seasonings like one spoonful of soy sauce, a small spoonful of salt, a small spoonful of sugar, and an appropriate amount of white pepper powder are added and mixed well. The chicken is then transferred to a clay pot, enough boiling water is added to cover the meat, and it is simmered over low heat for 10 minutes after bringing to a boil. Pre-soaked shiitake mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, and daylily buds are stir-fried separately until the moisture evaporates, which allows them to absorb more sauce later. The stir-fried vegetables/mushrooms are added to the chicken in the clay pot, followed by adding more water if necessary because the vegetables absorb liquid, and the pot is covered and simmered for another 20 minutes. Finally, sliced green and red bell peppers are added, mixed, and cooked for two more minutes to complete the aromatic and tender Braised Mushroom Chicken.
