Cordyceps Chicken Soup

Today's menu was Cordyceps chicken soup only because I didn't have the time and energy to cook as my furbaby is sick. Lucky for me, the preparation and cooking time took only 30 mins with the pre packed Sakura cordyceps chicken with herbs and my pressure cooker.



Basically it's just chopping away the unwanted parts, cleaning of chicken with salt and then throw the chicken with the pre packed ingredients, 5 dried mushrooms and a handful of dried scallops with 1.2L of water into the pressure cooker. Set timer to 15mins when the steam starts coming out from the pressure cooker and Tadah it's done!


Usual timing to simmer the chicken will take approx. 2 hours but it only took me 15mins with pressure cooker to get the same tenderness. I halved the chicken for my Mum and  the other half I placed in the Korean earthernware, season with Hua Diao Jiu and salt and simmer for another 10mins.

This soup is exceptionally comforting on a rainy day, like today.
