Drip Chicken Essence (Di Ji Jing)

Why people make this

Drip chicken essence is one of those old-fashioned home remedies Nourilo loves because it is honest and simple: pure, fat-skimmed chicken broth with nothing diluting it. The half-bowl or so you get is the concentrated essence, traditionally given warm to help someone rebuild strength after surgery, a long illness, or childbirth. Best of all, you also get tender steamed chicken to eat afterward, so nothing is wasted.
