Directions

  1. Soak the swallow’s nest, then drain it. Cook it for about 2 minutes in chicken broth.
  2. Wash the chicken, pat it dry, and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Soak the mushrooms and dates to soften them, then chop them finely.
  3. Combine the chicken, mushrooms, and jujubes with the seasoning and let it marinate.
  4. Wash the rice and cook it with the water. Once the rice is almost cooked, add the chicken, mushrooms, and jujubes on top.
  5. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for a moment, then add the swallow’s nest and its broth. Cover and cook until the rice is tender.
