This one-pot-dish is so easy to prepare, start by making the soup, then just add in the ingredients and lastly rice, bring them to a boil.


(Recipe Inspired by IG lingomania2021)

Ingredients : (serves 2)

Cooked rice for 2 persons

2 pcs Chicken Drumstick

600ml Water

3 pcs Red Dates (medium size)

1-2 pc Dang Gui Herbs Slice

1 tbsp Gojiberries

1 tbsp Yuk Chuk

1 tbsp Dried Longan

6 pcs Dried Scallops (small) - soaked 15 mins

1/2 tbsp Hua Diao Wine

Salt for seasoning (optional)


Step by Step:

1. Add some oil to the pot, lightly sear the chicken drumsticks on all sides.

2. Add in water and all other ingredients (except hua diao wine) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat & let it simmer for 40 mins.



3. Then, add in hua diao wine and cooked rice.


4. Let it boil for about 4-5 mins for the rice to absorb all the flavor. Turn off heat. Season with salt. (for me I omitted as I find the soup tasty enough)


5. Serve hot and enjoy.

Happy Cooking.
