Bamboo Pepper Hot Pot

Bamboo Pepper Hot Pot

Ingredients 1: Main Ingredients

---

• Live Chicken1 whole chicken;
• Don't choose old breed chickens, select young chickens within one year, this soup's richness won't be too overpowering, but still enough to enhance the flavor;
• If you feel the meat is too much, you can just use two chicken legs, and reduce the amount of water accordingly;
• Poultry is not absolutely forbidden, but the meat will be relatively loose, and the soup flavor will be slightly weaker, not the best option. Use poultry, pay attention to shorten the cooking time.

Steps:

1. Cook a chicken broth

Cook a whole chicken, remove the head (you can also use two chicken legs), blanch it and put it into all the chicken broth flavoring, add water above the meat, and then pressure cook it for 20 minutes after it boils;

If you use a cast iron pot, a sand pot, or a soup pot, it takes about 1 hour or more. The time depends on the type of chicken and the tightness of the pot. The criterion is that the chicken meat can be completely deboned;

Because I want to make shredded chicken and chicken broth, this operation is the fastest;

PS, everyone who always complains about not having chicken broth to use can definitely make this dish, let alone eat a whole bowl of bamboo pepper hot pot after eating, the family members still had leftovers, so I shredded the chicken and added it to the bowl, which is very convenient, just like hot pot, but pay attention, when adding later ingredients, the soup's flavor will be slightly weaker, it's better to add a little more seasoning;

The other version with pig's belly can also be made, the ingredients and steps are the same;

* Tips for making pig's belly can be found in this article: combined the small tips from three restaurants/chefs, which is a great help;

• A whole live chicken was cooked for a whole day, and after eating a whole bowl of bamboo pepper hot pot, the family members still had leftovers, so I shredded the chicken and added it to the bowl, which is very convenient, just like hot pot, but pay attention, when adding later ingredients, the soup's flavor will be slightly weaker, it's better to add a little more seasoning;
