Chicken & Daikon Soup (Rice Cooker)
This sounds very good, for this soup, you will need at least a 2 liter rice cooker as it is written, or reduce quantities to use a smaller rice cooker. A basic cook/warm rice cooker is perfect.
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken thighs, boneless, skinless, cut into large chunks, (1 lb)
- 1 liter water, (1 quart)
- 5 slices fresh ginger
- 1 daikon, (white radish) about 300 grams, cut into large chunks
- 8 Shiitake mushrooms, stems removed
- 1 tablespoon dried Goji berries, soaked in water until puffy
- 3 dried scallops, optional
- salt, to taste
Instructions
- Add some water (not the 1 liter stated in the ingredients) to the rice cooker pot, set to Cook. When the water boils, add chicken for 5-8 minutes with the rice cooker covered, remove the blanched chicken and set aside and discard the the water.
- Now add the 1 liter of water to the rice cooker pot. Cover and set to Cook. When the water boils, add chicken, daikon, mushrooms, dried scallops, and ginger. Cover the rice cooker and return to a boil. Leave the soup in the Cook mode for about 45 minutes.
- Switch the rice cooker to Warm and allow to simmer for at least another 1 to 2 hours. 15 to 30 minutes before serving the soup, add the soaked Goji berries. Add salt to taste.
Notes
Chicken thighs will cost about 37 Baht/500 grams, and you will bone them and chop. For 2 servings this is about 54 cents per serving. Dried scallops and goji berries are available through Lazada.
