Preparation
Preparing the Chicken
Rinse and Dry
Rinse the hens thoroughly under running water. Pat dry with paper towels.
Stuff the Chicken
Stuff each hen with 2 cloves of garlic, 1 ginseng root, 4 jujubes, and 1 chestnut.
Secure the Opening
Secure the opening with a toothpick or kitchen string.
Preparing the Broth
Combine Ingredients
In a large pot, combine water, ginger slices, and knotted green onions.
Ensure the pot is large enough for the broth to cover the hens completely. Soak the sweet rice in cold water for about 30 minutes before use for a softer texture.
Add the Hens
Place the hens into the pot carefully.
Bring to Boil
Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Cooking Process
Simmering
Gently simmer the soup for about 1.5 to 2 hours until chicken is tender.
Skimming
Occasionally skim off any foam or fat that rises to the surface.
Seasoning
Adjust seasoning with salt and a pinch of black pepper to taste about 10 minutes before serving.
