Step 1

Cut half a chicken into pieces, wash and set aside. Cut scallions into segments, ginger into slices, garlic into slices, and bell peppers into pieces. Cut cilantro into segments and set aside.

Step 2

Heat oil in a pot, add chicken pieces when the oil is 60-70% hot, stir-fry until the chicken turns white and the liquid is evaporated.

Step 3

Add all the spices and stir-fry until fragrant.

Step 4

Add water that doesn’t cover the chicken, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-low heat.

Step 5

Mix flour with half a bowl of warm water to form a soft dough.

Step 6

Take a small piece of dough, flatten it with your hands, and shape it into a palm-sized piece.

Step 7

Place the shaped dough on the pot wall, one by one, with half of each piece submerged in the soup. Cover the pot and simmer over medium-low heat for 20 minutes.
