Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by cleaning the soft shell turtle under cold running water. Remove the shell and internal organs, then cut the turtle meat into bite-sized pieces. Rinse well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the black bone chicken into quarters. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Chop Aromatics

    Peel and slice the ginger and garlic. Chop the green onions into small pieces, separating the white part from the green tops.

  4. 4

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the ginger, garlic, and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Meats

    Add the pieces of black bone chicken and soft shell turtle to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken starts to brown.

  6. 6

    Add Mushrooms and Ginseng

    Add the shiitake mushrooms and ginseng root to the pot. Stir well to combine the ingredients.

  7. 7

    Add Liquid

    Pour in the water and add the soy sauce and salt. Stir to combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil.

  8. 8

    Simmer the Stew

    Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, until the meats are tender and flavors meld together.

  9. 9

    Finish and Serve

    Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with the green tops of the green onions before serving. Enjoy your Chicken Turtle Ginseng stew hot.
