Stir-fried Chicken Cubes Ingredients:
1 whole chicken leg, 12 scallions
Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon wine
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.5 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups water
Instructions:
1. Cut the chicken leg into small pieces, blanch them first to remove blood, then rinse clean.
2. Wash and cut scallions into small segments. Stir-fry with 3 tablespoons of oil until fragrant and crispy. Add all seasonings and bring to a boil.
3. Add the chicken pieces, reduce heat to low, and cook until tender. When the soup slightly thickens, transfer to a serving dish.
Scallion Pickled Tofu Ingredients:
2 celery stalks, 4 pieces of five-spice tofu
Seasonings:
- 0.5 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- A little MSG
- 4 cups water
Instructions:
1. Remove the leaves and root ends of the celery, wash and cut into small segments.
2. Wash the tofu, cut into strings, and stir-fry with 3 tablespoons of oil until fragrant. Then add the celery and all seasonings and stir-fry together.
3. Serve immediately after mixing well.
Pea Sprout Egg Dumpling Soup Ingredients:
75g pea sprouts, 150g egg dumplings
Seasonings:
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- A little pepper and sesame oil
Instructions:
1. Bring 3 cups of water to a boil, reduce heat after adding the dumplings.
2. Pick the tender leaves of the pea sprouts, wash them, and add to the boiling soup. Season with salt and serve.
3. Add pepper and sesame oil when serving.
Key Tips:
1. If ready-made scallion oil is available, add it directly to the chicken pieces when they are blanched and returned to the pot for cooking.
2. You can substitute chicken pieces with ribs; the method is the same.
3. Tubular young celery is crisp. Add a little water while stir-frying to keep some liquid, or the tofu may scorch due to lack of moisture.
4. When pea sprouts are out of season, you can substitute them with spinach or bok choy.
