I realize that after i move to california, to be able to eat the popular and delicious asian food, i need to learn how to cook it myself. Though there are many restaurants at bay area, the good one are way too expensive, or too much msg. It's time for me to demonstrate my interest in cooking. Today, i am making herbal chicken. I find it healthy and easy to prepare, all you need is to get ready the right herb to add to the chicken and steam it! Lets begin....
Here is the ingredients:
half chicken or 2 big drum sticks
300 ml water
5 slices chuan xiong
12g yi chok
6g dang sheng
5 slices dang gui
5g wolfberries (can put more as you like)
5 red dates
5 slices bei chi
First, marinate the chicken with some white pepper, cooking wine, salt to taste for 2 hr. Cook all the herb in 300ml water for 30 min a low heat. Place the chicken is the big piece of aluminum foil, add in the herbal soup and wrap it over. Steam the chicken for 2 1/2 hr, or 1hr if using pressure cooker. This is one dish that is easy to prepare and the soup is so juicy sweet!
