Name: Instant Pot Samgyetang
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 60 min
Total time: 65 min
Ingredients: 2 lbs chicken (preferably skinless, boneless thighs (about 4 pieces)); 2 cups sweet (glutinous) rice; 6 berries jujubies (dried korean dates); 4 pieces ginseng root (1" length); 6 cloves garlic (whole peeled cloves); 1 tbsp ginger (minced); 4 pieces chestnuts ((optional)); 6 cups water (can also use chicken broth or bone broth)

This is a traditional Korean soup with medicinal herbs, that is simple to make and gives you energy when you are sick or not hungry. It’s usually made with stuffed Cornish Hens, but that can be a lot of work (both to make and eat), this is a more simple version.

This recipe was cobbled for the Instant Pot from other sources, and needs work. It came out very bland, and needs both more ginger & garlic, and a bit of heat.
