Asparagus And Sesame Chicken Soup
Ingredients :
2 lbs Chicken
2 c Warm water
3 tbsp Sesame oil
1 tsp Sugar
6 Slices ginger root
1/2 c Button mushrooms, canned
1/2 c Medium sherry
8 Fresh asparagus spears
1/2 tsp Salt
How To Cook :
- Wash chicken, remove fat pockets, pat dry, and chop into bite-size pieces. NOTE: if tempted to use breast Meat without bones, please don’t; bones add to body and flavor of Soup.
- Peel and slice ginger root. Wash and cut asparagus into 2″ sections.
- Braising: Heat wok to medium Hot. Add sesame oil. Start braising chicken a few pieces at a time when oil begins to smell.
- Sesame oil will burn at lower temperature than other cooking oils, so avoid Hot wok.
- After browning lightly, return chicken pieces to wok; add ginger slices, sherry and salt.
- When sherry boils, add water and Sugar. Turn up heat, bring to boil, then reduce heat to simmer, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Add mushrooms and asparagus, simmer for another 15 minutes.
- Transfer to covered Soup tureen (or put plate on top of Soup bowl), place in steamer on low, and hold until ready to serve.
- You can make this Soup in large Sauce pan, if wok is needed for something else.
