I bought this fresh ginseng because of its health benefits I didn't know exactly what the benefits are but, most Chinese incorporate ginseng on their cuisine. So, what i have here is a slow cooked chicken soup with ginseng. I also added some dried dates and carrots for sweetness. I cooked it in a slow cooker for 5 hours.

Although I feel this ginseng chicken soup is more suitable for winter, sometimes my stomach just wants me to quickly cook a packet of scallions and eat them, haha.
K.......
Fighting fire with fire for the rest of the summer~ I made a great purchase on sale.
chicha
It's delicious! The chickens sold here are usually too big, so they get dry when made into samgyetang, but since this one uses a small chicken, it stays moist. I think it would be even better if you added some glutinous rice or scorched rice to the leftover broth and boiled it again.
Tinawang3
This chicken soup is delicious. I always buy two or three packets whenever it's on sale and store it.
