　　Recommended reason: Bamboo fungus is known as the “Fairy in a Snow Skirt,” “Flower of Mountain Delicacies,” “Flower of Fungi,” and “Queen of Mushrooms.” It is rich in nutrients, aromatic, and delicious, and has long been listed as one of the “Eight Grass Treasures.” Among all bamboo fungus producing regions, only the Zhijin area in Bijie produces bamboo fungus with the highest nutritional value, where wild bamboo fungus can fetch up to 4,000 RMB per kilogram. It offers certain therapeutic benefits for high blood pressure, neurasthenia, and gastrointestinal diseases.

　　It is especially worth mentioning that bamboo fungus contains several essential amino acids required by the human body, which is very rare in foods.

　　Method: First, place the chicken pieces in cold water, bring to a boil, and skim off the surface foam. Then add more water and start stewing the chicken. When stewing the chicken, first add a few slices of ginger and a little pepper. While stewing the chicken, prepare the bamboo fungus. Soak the bamboo fungus in salt water for 20 minutes, then rinse it several times. Some people dislike the smell of bamboo fungus, but this odor can be eliminated by rinsing it thoroughly. Cut the rinsed bamboo fungus into sections and set aside in clean water.

　　Features: Delicious taste and extremely high nutritional value.
