well kinda curious on what kinda food that you guys prepare and would like to find out some of the crazy recipes you guys use . . .. . ill go first ....
Chicken Ginger Soup
1 Whole chicken
12 cups water or till chicken is fully submerged
1 each hand of ginger
1 each bulb garlic
1 each celery sock
8 each bunches of bok choy
TT salt and pepper
1 Pot of Rice ... i goes real well with this soup :D
First
you get a pot fill it up with water,bring water to a boil. while that is going on clean and wash your chicken. then put i in he pot.
Second
Once i is brought to a boil turn the stove to medium high, add salt and pepper then cover with a lid.
Third
While the chicken is cooking this is when you prep the veggies, take your garlic and give it a fine mince then set aside in a bowl, after that peel the ginger and mince it like you did the garlic and add it to the same bowl.
Now that the chicken has been cooking for a few mins its time to check it. there should be some foam on the top, take a slotted spoon and skim off all he impurities in a bowl and throw away. When doing this it makes your soups come out clear without it looking murky. when that is all done cover the pot again and turn the heat down to medium.
important you want to do this about every half hour or so
Fourth
Now its time to clean and cut the bok choy. Take the bok choy bunches and cut the dirty bottom parts and peel off the leaves like a banana peel and set them in a colander, once you have all your bok choy in the colander begin to rinse them until all the dirty is no longer visible. when this is done set the bok choy in a bowl for later use.
Fifth
The chicken should be cooked till the point that it practically falls off the bone. when it has come to this point take the chicken and set it in a sheet pan or bowl big enough to put in. Let the chicken rest for about 10 to 15 mins. while the chicken is out of the pot turn off the stove. once the chicken is cool enough to work with start to pull off all the meat and set it in a bowl. once the chicken is shredded you can put it back in the pot . If the length of the chicken isnt what you desire you can chop up the chicken into small pieces.
Once the shredded chicken is back in the pot turn the stove back on to medium , add the ginger, garlic, and salt and pepper. once it is brought to a boil again add the bok choy and cover it. while this is going on its time to wash and cut the celery. First trim off the bottom of the stock and the top if the celery has a bit of white stuff on top. then begin to cut it in small or medium dice depending on how big you want it. By the time this is done take the lid off the soup stir it a bit , then add the celery. once the celery is in turn the stove down to low cover the soup back up again.
Sixth
Once the celery is cooked enough to your liking turn off the stove and DIG IN
Over all you want to time it just right when you add the bok choy and celery ... you don want to over cook either of them just enough so it wont be all soggy.
