Half a free-range chicken, cleaned (about 500 g / 1 lb), 1 bitter melon, 1 can of pineapple chunks in syrup.
Seasonings
10 g scallion segments, 5 g ginger slices, 1 teaspoon each of salt and ground white pepper, 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine.
Steps
1. Rinse the free-range chicken, chop into small pieces, blanch in boiling water, then drain; halve the bitter melon, remove the seeds, rinse, and cut into chunks.
