Stewed Milky Chicken with Date and Lotus Seed (Instant Pot Version)|紅棗蓮子鮮奶燉雞 (壓力煲版)


It is the very nutritious soup that is very good for skin or post-natal nourishment. I made it every winter to boost up our energy. 


Stewed Milky Chicken with Date and Lotus Seed
紅棗蓮子鮮奶燉雞

INGREDIENTS:
2 pcs Chicken Legs, skinless
3 cups Milk, homogenized
1 cup Water
4 tablespoons Chinese Cooking Rice Wine
4 Red Dates
12 Lotus Seeds, cores removed
Salt to taste


DIRECTION:
Red Dates are on the left and lotus seeds are on the right.



1. Soak the dried lotus seeds in water until soften.  Remove the green core in the middle of each with a toothpaste, if there is any.



2. Remove and discard the pit in each red date.



3. In a heat-proof container.  Add chicken, dates, and lotus seeds.



4. Pour in milk.



5. Add water and rice wine.  Cover the container with a lid.



6. In an instant pot, add 3 cups of water and place a low rack on the bottom.  Carefully put the covered container on the rack.

7. Put the lid on the instant pot.  Put the venting knob to seal.  Press the "Manual" button once, and then press the "Pressure" button to adjust the pressure to high.  Press the "+" or "-" button to set the time to 10 minutes.  When the cooking process is done, allow the pressure release naturally.  Remove the container from the instant pot right away.



8. Season the soup with salt.  Serve immediately.
