Foil-Wrapped Ginseng Chicken
Steamed ginseng chicken wrapped in foil is a simple wrap and cook dinner solution. This is a very healthy and convenient recipe. The ginseng I am using is called american ginseng fiber (洋参须). It is an inexpensive type of american ginseng touted with ‘cooling’ (降火) & mental-clarifying (提神) benefits.

You can purchase this particular ginseng in Singapore at traditional Chinese medical hall or supermarkets (I bought a 150g packet at Fuhua for S$5.50).
First marinade the chicken with ginseng & seasonings for at least half hour.
Prepare a large sheet of foil. Place ginseng & aromatics & a few shiitake mushrooms at the bottom.
Place boneless chicken on top and top with rest of the ingredients & sauce.
Wrap the foil packets.
Steam and serve.

What a wonderful way to use up ginseng. We always have it in our “bitter chicken soup” This is very refreshing. You did great. Thanks for sharing!
Great post! I luv your step-by-step guides with all the fabulous shots! Just wonder instead of flipping the chicken, can I just flip the package? Less risk of getting a burnt thumb. Hehehe!
You know, I am going to cook chicken soup with ginseng tomorrow. Really! With wolfberry, ginger and red dates. (No mushroom) :-) Do you have ESP or what?
That’s a lot of ginseng, does the chicken taste bitter? Thus far, I only used it to cook herbal soup and I only put a little bit and the soup is bitter already. So, just curious.
Great recipe! I love herbal chicken cooked like this. Love the step by step pics. :D
wow, ur really in a ginseng mood lately :P
and Yes, steaming in foil is so fuss free and one can be so creative with the ingredients/ marinade – nice pics!
