Detailed Steps for Braised Pigeon in Double-Boiled Soup
Take one live pigeon, kill and clean it. It may seem cruel, but many nutrients are in the blood.
Ingredients: American Ginseng, Cordyceps Flower, Dried Longan, Goji Berries, Red Dates, Ginger Slices, Chinese Yam, Astragalus Root
Place the whole pigeon in a soup pot (preferably a covered stewing pot).
Add clean water, about 5 rice bowls, equivalent to a family of four. Then place it in a steamer, steam on high heat for half an hour, then reduce to medium heat for one hour.
Season the stewed pigeon soup with salt and MSG to taste before serving.
