Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 1 whole chicken
  • Glutinous rice (as needed)
  • 1 samgyetang herbal tea bag
  • Garlic (as needed)
  • A few jujubes
  • Green onions (as needed)
  • Water (as needed)
  • A pinch of flower salt

Recipe 🍳

  1. Before cooking, wash the raw glutinous rice thoroughly and soak in cold water for 3 hours, then drain.
  2. Spread the soaked glutinous rice evenly on the bottom of the rice cooker inner pot to avoid clumping.
  3. Place the cleaned chicken, samgyetang herbal tea bag, whole garlic cloves, jujubes, and green onions on top of the glutinous rice in order.
  4. Pour in enough water to just submerge the ingredients, and add a pinch of flower salt for a light base seasoning.
  5. Put the inner pot into the rice cooker and press the regular white rice cooking button to start the first cooking cycle.
  6. When cooking is complete, carefully remove the chicken, herbal tea bag, and other solids first, and enjoy the tender baeksuk.
  7. Add 1 cup of water to the remaining savory juk in the inner pot and gently stir with a rice paddle.
  8. Close the rice cooker lid again and press the white rice cooking button once more to finish the soft, fully cooked chicken juk.
  1. Soak glutinous rice for 3 hours, spread on rice cooker bottom, add cleaned chicken, herbal tea bag, garlic, green onions, water, and salt.
  2. Run the white rice cooking cycle. When done, remove the tender chicken baeksuk and solids like garlic first and eat.
  3. 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.
