Recipe 🍳
- Before cooking, wash the raw glutinous rice thoroughly and soak in cold water for 3 hours, then drain.
- Spread the soaked glutinous rice evenly on the bottom of the rice cooker inner pot to avoid clumping.
- Place the cleaned chicken, samgyetang herbal tea bag, whole garlic cloves, jujubes, and green onions on top of the glutinous rice in order.
- Pour in enough water to just submerge the ingredients, and add a pinch of flower salt for a light base seasoning.
- Put the inner pot into the rice cooker and press the regular white rice cooking button to start the first cooking cycle.
- When cooking is complete, carefully remove the chicken, herbal tea bag, and other solids first, and enjoy the tender baeksuk.
- Add 1 cup of water to the remaining savory juk in the inner pot and gently stir with a rice paddle.
- Close the rice cooker lid again and press the white rice cooking button once more to finish the soft, fully cooked chicken juk.
- Soak glutinous rice for 3 hours, spread on rice cooker bottom, add cleaned chicken, herbal tea bag, garlic, green onions, water, and salt.
- Run the white rice cooking cycle. When done, remove the tender chicken baeksuk and solids like garlic first and eat.
- Add 1 cup of water to the remaining inner pot and run the white rice cooking cycle once more to make thick chicken juk.
Cooking tips 💡
- Soak the glutinous rice for at least 3 hours so that during rice cooker cooking, the juk becomes soft and smooth without any hard centers.
- When making juk in the second cooking cycle, be sure to add 1 cup of water to prevent the bottom from burning and to achieve the right consistency.
