Northeast-style chicken stew with mushrooms is a classic Dongbei dish featuring free-range chicken slowly stewed with dried hazel mushrooms until deeply flavorful.
Xiaojidun mogu is one of the most representative dishes of Dongbei (Northeast China). The hazel mushrooms used are a specialty of the Changbai Mountain region, with an intense earthy aroma that permeates the stew. The potato noodles absorb the rich broth and become the highlight of the dish. This dish, along with braised pork ribs and cured sausages, forms the "three treasures of the Northeast table."
