Braised Pork and Chicken

About This Recipe

This hearty and flavorful Chicken and Pork Stew combines tender free-range chicken, succulent pork, and aromatic spices for a deeply satisfying meal. The recipe starts by blanching the chicken and stir-frying pork to enhance texture and richness. A fragrant blend of scallions, ginger, garlic, eight horns, chili peppers, and peppercorns builds layers of bold, savory depth. Simmered slowly in soy sauce-infused broth, the chicken becomes incredibly tender while absorbing the rich umami flavors. Sweet corn and boiled eggs add a delightful contrast, making every bite more exciting. Perfect for family dinners, this stew is a comforting one-pot wonder—slow-cooked to perfection and finished with fresh scallions for a vibrant touch. Adjust cooking time based on your chicken’s tenderness, and enjoy a dish that’s both rustic and deeply delicious!

Pour oil into the pot, add half of the scallions, ginger, garlic, peppercorns, and chili peppers, and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the chicken and stir-fry, then add the remaining scallions, ginger, and garlic, pour in soy sauce, and stir-fry for a while. Then pour in hot water, add a spoonful of salt, cover the pot, and simmer over low heat.

Step 5
After about 30 minutes of cooking, add the pre-stir-fried pork, as the chicken I bought was a free-range chicken, which is harder to cook, and ordinary market chicken is more tender and does not require such a long time. I also added a corn and three eggs to stew together. Adjust the salt according to taste, and add water in time if the water is dry to prevent the pot from drying out.
