Step 2
Heat a wok, first melt the chicken fat and strain out the residue, then add the chicken pieces and stir-fry. When the pieces begin to shrink slightly, add all the seasonings along with the water. Once the soup comes to a boil, skim off the foam. Continue simmering over high heat until the chicken becomes tender and falls apart.
