Chicken essence originated from the Ming Dynasty. It is known as a powerful health tonic which helped the emperor recover from his mental fatigue. So it comes to no surprise that the Chinese consume chicken essence whenever they feel fatigued.
There were a few times (about 10 years ago) where we bought the Brand's Chicken Essence to drink. But commercialized food can never win over home-made food!
Chicken essence is basically 100% juice from the chicken which is extracted using the double-boil method. Some people use a smaller pot in a bigger pot.
I bought a double boiler to do this.
Ingredients:
1. 1 small free-range and antibiotic-free chicken (skin removed) (cut into 4 parts)
2. Water
There's a drainer in it. |
Place chicken on top of drainer. |
Cover it and then add water to the level indicated. |
The potent home-made chicken essence. |
Yum.
