Ingredients

Steps

• 

  Portion the chicken into leg pieces and breast pieces (my video will show you how it’s done). Place the chicken carcass into a pot and add ginger, spring onion and chicken stock cubes, along with 8 cups of water. Place over high heat and cook for 20 minutes. Skim off the foam from the surface of the stock.

• 

  Remove the carcass from the broth and discard. Then turn the heat to low and add the chicken pieces you portioned up, as well as the goji berries. Simmer gently for 10 minutes. Then turn the heat off, cover and allow the pieces to sit for 20 minutes to cook through using the residual heat.

• 

  In the meantime, place the Shaoxing wine, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add 1 cup of the hot chicken broth and stir everything together. Set aside to allow the sugar to dissolve.

• 

  Place ice cubes and cold water into a large bowl to create an ice bath. Once the chicken is done poaching, transfer it to the bowl of iced water and allow to cool.

• 

  Use a cleaver to cut the chicken pieces into slices and place in a shallow bowl or serving dish (you could also shred the chicken meat if you don’t have a cleaver or heavy knife). Pour the Shaoxing wine mixture over the chicken, top with coriander leaves and serve.
