Clean the chicken thoroughly with a generous salt rub, rinsing several times until the skin and internal cavity are clean. Soak the glutinous rice in water for 20 minutes. Trim the stalk ends of the spring onion and set aside. Dice the green tops into ½ cm pieces and set aside for garnish. Rinse the ginseng and dried jujubes. Place the ginseng into the provided cloth tea bag and set aside.

Rinse the Korean Purple Rice until the water runs clear. Pour 2 cups and 2 tablespoon of water over the rice and flatten the top layer evenly with your hand. Close the lid and cook on the standard rice setting.

Using a spoon, pack the soaked glutinous rice, whole peeled garlic cloves and dried jujubes into the chicken cavity. If the cavity is full, leave any remaining dried jujubes and garlic aside to add to the pot. Make a small incision in the skin near the cavity opening and tuck the drumsticks through to cross the legs, sealing the stuffing inside.

Tip: Crossing the legs seals the cavity, keeping the stuffing inside during cooking.

Place the chicken into a pot that fits it snug. Add the ginseng tea bag and spring onion stalks alongside the chicken. Add any remaining garlic and dried jujubes if there is any. Add the Ahh Maa Ginseng Chicken Soup Seasoning and water (1 L for 2 servings / 2 L for 4 servings / 3 L for 6 servings). Ensure the water is just covering the chicken. If not, transfer to a smaller, more snug pot.

Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce to low heat and simmer with the lid on for 70 minutes.

When the rice is done, leave it to rest with the lid closed for 5 minutes. Open and fluff with a rice paddle. Set aside.

Remove and discard the ginseng tea bag. If using a clay pot, transfer the chicken and ladle the chicken stock over the top and bring to a boil. If using a serving bowl, bring the pot of chicken and stock to a boil first, then carefully transfer into the serving bowl.

Garnish generously with the reserved diced spring onion and serve alongside the Korean purple rice. To make the dipping sauce, mix sesame oil with salt and pepper seasoning to taste and serve alongside.
