Ingredients
1 whole fresh cleaned silkie chicken, 250-300 g (about 8-10 oz) durian flesh, 10 red dates.
Seasonings
2 slices ginger, 1 tablespoon salt, 2 teaspoons MSG.
Steps
1. Split the black chicken open, clean it, remove the skin, and cut it in half. Briefly blanch in boiling water, then remove, rinse under clean water, and pat dry. Wash the red dates.
2. Bring a large pot of water (about three-quarters full) to a boil, add the black chicken and ginger slices, then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for about 1 hour. Add the durian flesh and jujubes, continue simmering for another 20 minutes until all ingredients are cooked through. Season with MSG and salt to taste, then serve in bowls.
