Ingredients
- 2 young coconuts, remove coconut water and flesh and set aside
- 3 pieces of chicken thighs
- 4 dried shitake mushrooms, stem removed and soaked
- A few small pieces of black fungus
- A small handful of goji berries (枸杞)
- 4 red dates
- A pinch of salt
Method
- Quickly blanch the chicken pieces in hot water first to remove some of the scum. (If feeling lazy, you can skip this step and strain your soup later)
- Place blanched chicken with all the other ingredients, coconut water & coconut flesh in a pot and bring to a boil.
- Add a pinch of salt to taste.
- Simmer for another 5minutes then turn off the heat.
- Pour the soup with ingredients back into the coconut and steam it for about 10 minutes when you are serving it.
