Instructions
Step 1
Pluck and clean the young pigeons after slaughter, remove the entrails, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and cut each into 4 pieces. Blanch briefly in boiling water, then rinse off the blood foam. Place the wolfberries in a bowl, soak in warm water until soft, and set aside. Trim and wash the baby bok choy hearts, then cut into sections.
Step 2
Place a wok over high heat, add water, and add the young pigeons, wolfberries, cooking wine, scallion segments, and ginger slices. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for about 2 hours. Skim off any foam from the surface, and remove the scallion segments and ginger slices. Add the baby bok choy hearts, salt, MSG, and ground white pepper, and simmer for about 20 minutes until the ingredients are well-flavored. Transfer to a soup bowl and drizzle with sesame oil before serving.
