No need introduction... this is the standard classic confinement food fare. You can try this even though you're not under confinement, just reduce the amount of ginger and/or wine. Yummy to be eaten with mee sua or noodles.

Yummy..!! thanks for sharing the recipe.. :) i will look out for the rice wine or ginger wine.. when i am next up in halifax.
ReplyDeletei like this soup - but some ppl find it too winey.. too strong smelling. i think it's great on a cold nite:D
ReplyDeleteWhat my mom did for me was she will hammer lots of 'old' gingers. And boiled with kampong chicken with black fungus. But she didn't add glutinuous rice wine but use Brandy instead.
ReplyDeleteLove this soup too. I ate a lot of black fungus while on confinement. Hmmm...maybe I should cook this for dinner later！
ReplyDeleteI am not sure why but my mum will fry the black fungus in a dry oil free pan first. Dish that out then continue as rest of your method. We add peeled peanuts into the version which is distributed to relatives for the 12th day ceremony which announces the birth.
ReplyDeleteNice dish, especially for confinement. All warm up after eating and helps blood circulation.
