After boiling the water in the pot, take out the chicken pieces and wash the blood foam on the surface with clean water, then drain the water and set aside.

Step 7

Pour the processed chicken pieces into the rice cooker, then pour in the soaked astragalus root, angelica root, and Codonopsis pilosula we mentioned, and then pour in the dried lotus seeds, Ginger slices, wolfberries and pitted red dates, then pour in enough cold boiled water to cover the chicken pieces, add an appropriate amount of salt to taste, cover the rice cooker, select the soup mode, and cook for two hours.
