This ingredient needs to be soaked for about 30 minutes before stewing chicken.

Before stewing chicken with dried matsutake, clean the dried matsutake, then soak it in warm water at about 40 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes, until it returns to its original elasticity. When stewing chicken, blanch the chicken first, then put it into a stew pot and stew it for 1.5 hours. After simmering it for 1.5 hours, add the soaked matsutake mushrooms, red dates, and wolfberry, and stew it for another 0.5 hour.
