Steam Pot Chicken is a unique delicacy from the Southern Yunnan region.
Chicken and ingredients are placed in a steam pot without adding any water and steamed over a soup pot. The steam condenses to slowly bring out the flavors of the food.
This cooking method allows most of the chicken's fresh taste and nutrients to be preserved.
However, if it's not cooked properly, it can indeed have a gamey flavor.
After Lin Xu used points to exchange for the Superior method, he discovered that the preparation was quite particular.
For instance, one must use a young hen that has never laid eggs. It must also be free-range and have yellow fat in its belly. Only such a chicken makes delicious Steam Pot Chicken.
Additionally, when cooking, one must not blanch the chicken, add any stock, or even use seasonings.
Adding a small piece of ham while cooking suffices for seasoning.
