Recently, the People's Government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region announced the list for the ninth batch of autonomous-region-level representative intangible cultural heritage projects, and the traditional craftsmanship of "minced chicken soup" submitted by Qingxiu District was successfully selected.
Minced chicken soup is a delicious dish that was once a must-have for people in Nanning during festivals or ceremonial banquets. Its color is pale white, soup is crystal clear, and the taste is smooth and delicate. It is not only mellow and delicious, but also nutritious. The cooking history of minced chicken soup in and around Nanning is quite long. Although the specific time cannot be verified, it can be traced back to at least the 1940s. The method of making minced chicken soup requires the ingredients to be shredded finely, with minced chicken as soul. With the minced chicken integrating the taste of all ingredients, minced chicken soup looks like thick gel prepared with exquisite craftsmanship, natural and vivid. Combining eastern and western ingredients and adding the Serrano ham create a unique, rich and delicious aroma in minced chicken soup; the extra chopped water chestnuts also make the taste of the soup smoother, more delicate, fresh and tender, adding a refreshing touch to the bouncy and flexible texture.
