First of all, prepare materials: a hen, appropriate amount of red yeast, appropriate amount of cooking wine, about two grams of Cordyceps sinensis, two codonopsis pilosula, a piece of ginger, and appropriate amount of seasoning salt. The practice is to wash the chicken first, chop it into small pieces, wash Cordyceps, Codonopsis pilosula and ginger, and slice it for later use. Pour half a pot of warm water into the rice cooker, and then add the chicken pieces. Note that warm water is less than half the height of chicken fingers. Pour in the prepared Cordyceps sinensis, two pieces of Codonopsis pilosula and one piece of ginger. Be careful not to put too much medicine, too much medicine will affect the delicious chicken soup. Finally, pour red rice and cooking wine, stir these ingredients with chopsticks, cover and cook for about 30 minutes. Simmer for about ten minutes. Finally, pour the right amount of salt before taking out the pot.

Although monascus is a good ingredient, you should also pay attention to buying monascus. When selecting monascus, the best shape is long, oval, columnar or irregular, and the ones with red color, crisp texture and long age are better. Monascus rice is easy to get wet, so we should pay special attention to the storage method. Once the monascus is damp, it will be infected by harmful bacteria, and it is prone to mildew, leading to caking and insects, so it should be stored in a dry environment.
