Steps

1 hour

1

Rinse the chicken and place it in a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil to remove impurities and blood. (You can add green onions, ginger, or rice wine to the water if you like, but it's optional.)
2

After blanching, rinse the chicken under cold water to remove any remaining impurities or bone fragments. Soak the shiitake mushrooms in water until softened and set aside.
3

Place the chicken and ginger slices in a pot. Fill with water and start cooking. Pour in the soaking liquid from the shiitake mushrooms as well.
4

Slice the bamboo shoot. Prepare the other ingredients. Take half a can of preserved winter melon (with its liquid) and cut it into small pieces.
5

Once the chicken comes to a boil, add the shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoot slices, garlic cloves, and preserved winter melon with its liquid. Continue cooking for 20 minutes.
6

Season with a little salt, then simmer for another 10 minutes.
