Method

  1. 1 Soak dried sea cucumber and abalone for 12 hours, then simmer each separately with ginger until tender.
  2. 2 Simmer the chicken and pork trotters for 3 hours, then strain to obtain a clear and flavorful broth.
  3. 3 Arrange the ingredients in the jar in layers, from the slowest to the fastest cooking at the bottom.
  4. 4 Pour in the broth and Shaoxing wine, then seal the jar tightly with lotus leaves or parchment paper.
  5. 5 Sealing the jar tightly is the essence of the dish; if the aroma escapes, the most precious part is lost.
  6. 6 Let it simmer in water for 90 minutes, then open the jar right at the table to let the aroma rise.

With an appliance

  • Pressure cooker 3 hr

    Replace step 2: simmer the broth under high pressure for 60 minutes; the stewed tofu must still be kept away from the water for 90 minutes.
