Ginger chicken with shaoxing wine is one of many chinese confinement foods that is served to women after giving birth. It is believed to help them recuperate better during confinement period. Ginger is also known to be good for expelling wind and improving blood circulation. It is sometimes served with mee sua in a broth but this recipe is gravy based and served with rice. Cooking this dish with my Instant Pot Duo Plus, an Electric Pressure Multi-Use Programmable Cooker, cuts down the cooking time with only 5 minutes of pressure cooking.
