1 Step 1: In a small bowl, soak the goji berries with ⅓ cup mijiu to rehydrate. Set aside.2 Step 2: Slice the ginger into pieces slightly under ¼ inch thick. There’s no need to peel the ginger. If it’s dirty, rinse and pat dry before slicing. Trim away any dry ends.3 Step 3: In a 4-quart soup pot, pat the chicken dry and add it directly to the cold pot. Add the neutral oil. Cook over medium heat in a single layer until both sides are lightly browned and the chicken has rendered fat, about 8–10 minutes per side. Do not flip or toss too often—this helps the chicken brown properly and render fat.4 Step 4: Once the chicken is lightly browned, add the ginger slices. Shift the chicken slightly so the ginger sits in contact with the rendered fat at the bottom of the pot.5 Step 5: Lower the heat to medium-low. Fry the ginger until lightly browned and slightly shriveled, about 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally so it doesn’t burn.6 Step 6: When the ginger is fragrant, add the sesame oil and sugar. Stir-fry for 1 minute until aromatic.7 Step 7: Pour in the remaining 1 cup mijiu and the water. Cover and turn the heat to medium. Bring to a boil (about 8–10 minutes), then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes. Leave the lid slightly ajar to prevent boiling over.8 Step 8: After simmering, season with salt to taste.9 Step 9: Pour in the soaked goji berries along with the soaking wine. Simmer for 30 seconds to round out the flavor.10 Step 10: If adding noodles: Add the noodles directly to the soup and cook according to package instructions.11 Step 11: To serve: Discard the ginger slices. Transfer the chicken, noodles, and broth into individual bowls. Serve hot.getsaucepan.com/r/5b243b7d-067d-4a3a-9fc0-ac6f6fa8c2dc · Original: https://iheartumami.com/sesame-oil-chicken-soup/
