Chicken with Stone's Ginger Wine

For Cantonese, this is traditionally cooked for distributing to relatives on the 12th day after delivery to inform them of the new addition to the family. New mothers are encouraged to drink this Chicken Wine to promote blood circulation & invigorate major organs in the body. The wine is good for warming the lower body, "mok yee(wood fungus)" has the property to cleanse the uterus and peanuts are good for promoting milk.

    Great blog u have here!!! :)

    I use brandy. It also tastes very very good in the right amounts... about one tablespoon to a bowl... just before eating. Brandy is great!
