This variant of Whole Chicken Soup distinguishes itself from the standard dish by wrapping the chicken in a lotus leaf before boiling it with Siberian ginseng, Cnidium officinale, giant angelica, jujube, etc. Because the chicken is simmered under wraps, even the tougher breast meat stays moist and tender. Lotus leaves are discarded when the dish is served. The meat is eaten first, whose rich and clean flavor has been permeated with the fragrance of medicinal herbs. Lotus leaves are rich in antioxidants and have excellent antiaging qualities. Adding medicinal herbs makes this dish a beneficial bowl of medicine by itself. Don’t miss the porridge made from the remaining broth.
