Steps:

1. Prep the chicken: Rinse chicken pieces, blanch in boiling water for 2 minutes to remove impurities, then drain.

2. Sauté aromatics: Heat oil in a pot, stir-fry ginger, garlic, and scallion until fragrant. Add chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned.

3. Simmer: Pour in cooking wine and soy sauce, then add enough water to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
