Chinese Chicken Stock

Chinese Chicken Stock

This chicken stock is the base for many of my Chinese takeaway recipes.

This Chinese chicken stock is the essential base ingredient for many of the Chinese takeaway dishes I have lined up for my blog. It is super easy to make and keeps well in the fridge for up to three days is you are working ahead.

I like to cook my Chinese chicken stock in a pressure cooker as it is a lot faster. You could also simmer the stock for about three to four hours on the hob.

 

Making Chinese chicken stock

Is the chicken in good enough shape after pressure cooking 30 minutes to be shredded and used in another recipe?

You could use it, I have done before but the chicken becomes a bit tasteless after being in the pressure cooker for so long. Thanks Dan
