    Friendly Reminder: 1. Sand ginger powder is an indispensable seasoning for this dish. It is made by grinding sand ginger (also known as Kaempferia galanga, generally available at herbal medicine shops). It is pale yellow in color and has a rich aroma. It is widely used, most commonly as a marinade to enhance flavor. 2. The separated chicken carcass and broth are excellent ingredients; do not throw them away, as we will use them to make soup.
