Chicken Ginseng Soup

Wash and soak your rice for 1.5-2 hours. Wash your hen until there’s no more blood. Stuff the chicken cavity with the soaked rice, ginseng, garlic cloves, and the date. Add the stuffed hen to a pot with 4 cups of water (double water for 2 hens). Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cook for 1 hour per hen (double cooking time for more hens). 15 minutes before the chicken is done cooking, add in chopped white parts of a scallion. Garnish with green parts of the scallion and make sure to scoop out the delicious sticky rice as you’re enjoying. Serve with a sauce made from 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp freshly cracked black or white pepper, 1 tsp sesame seeds, and 1 tsp sesame oil.
