The Simplest - Herbal Salted Chicken

The simplest recipe I would used to make for a quick and easy dish. It is so simple and almost a lazy way of cooking. Dang Gui and Szechwan lovage are good for warming up body and improve blood flow. While wolfberry is not just only good for improving eye sight but heals weakness and fatigue.
I read from certain articles in the website, if you are breast feeding you should not consume Dang Qui. However in confinement menu, there will be Dang Gui dishes. To be safe, I have taken moderately..not too much or frequent.
This dish is beneficial to be taken also after monthly menstrual in replacement of Ba Zhen (八珍)



1 free range chicken drumstick
course salt
2 pieces of Dang Gui (or Angelica sinensis 当归)
3 pieces of Szechwan lovage (川芎)

1 tbsp Wolfberry (枸杞子)

1) Wash chicken drumstick and cut away fat.
2) Rub salt all over chicken. You may want to add a little bit more for a similar taste with baked salted chicken
3) Insert Dang Qui and Szechwan lovage in between the skin and meat
4) Set a side either over night in the fridge or let it marinate for 2 hours
5) steam the chicken for 25 minutes over medium fire. That's it ... the simplest ;)
