Prepare the chicken by trimming the excess fat and cutting it into small chunks.

In a pot, boil the chicken with 2 slices of ginger and 1 tbsp of cooking wine.

After cooling the cooked shredded chicken, finely shred the chicken using a meat grinder. Do not grind when it is still hot and moist, otherwise, it will not be as light and airy when ground.
