If you've never tried this soup...
Please do.
Seriously.
It has just become my favorite Chinese soup!
It's a classic confinement tonic for women who just gave birth, but confinement or not...I love this soup! Plus, unlike other type of slow cooked soup which takes forever to make...this takes less than one hour to whip up!
Fast, easy, delicious & warming for this cooler days....perfect!
Recipe
- Half a chicken, chopped into pieces
- a handful of red dates
- wood ear fungus, soaked in water until soft and sliced thinly
- glutinous rice wine, about half a cup
- 3 cm ginger, sliced thinly
- 2-3 bowls of hot water
- vegetable oil for sauteeing, salt to season
Saute ginger and chicken in a bit of vegetable oil, add sliced wood ear fungus, add glutinous rice wine, cook for a few minutes, add 2-3 bowls of hot water, let cook for about 20 minutes, or until all the flavors merged, season with salt and serve.
A bowl of liquid gold! Slurp!

I love your confinement food lol... I must seriously try this :p
we cook this with sesame oil...very fragrant...will be more delish if you fry some eggs + julienne ginger with sesame oil and cook it with the soup :-)
hehe....I've never made soup before =)But this sounds delicious!! Does it taste anything like drunken chicken??
It's a great soup!
I did this for my daughter's confinement! My son-in-law enjoyed it too!
I know how delicious it is already. I love the sweet glutinous rice wine.
If this is confinement, you can lock me up. K thanks. Looks delicious.
Herbal chicken soup can be heavenly I know... I need to make some again myself...!!
