This popular Chinese dish is quite easy to make. To add a bit of color, try garnishing the cut chicken with Green Onion Brushes before serving.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 5 hours, 00 minutes

Ingredients:

* 1.6 kilogram, (3.5 lb) chicken

* 3 spring onions (green onions, scallions)

* 1 large ginger, sliced

* 3 garlic cloves

* 250 ml (1 cup) Shaoshing wine*

* 1 tablespoon sea salt

Preparation:

Rinse the chicken under cold running water and pat dry. Trim any extra fat.

In a large saucepan, add enough water to cover the chicken. Add the spring onions, ginger, garlic, Shaoshing wine, and sea salt. Bring to a boil.

Simmer for 20 minutes, then place the chicken in the stock. Bring back to a boil and simmer for another 15 minutes.

Turn the heat off, cover, and let the chicken sit in the stock for 4 - 5 hours. Serves 4.

Cut up the chicken. Serve with red vinegar, such as Pun Chun.

*Shaoshing wine is Chinese rice wine. If not available, pale dry sherry (not cooking sherry) can be substituted.
