Instructions

Pick off the roots of the cordyceps flowers.
Give the mushrooms a quick wash and rinse with cold water. Drain well.
Pat dry with a kitchen paper towel. Set aside
Rinse Black Goji Berries and drain well. Set aside.
Clean the chicken pieces and pat dry with a paper towel.
Marinate the chicken for at least 20 mins with grounded white pepper powder, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Shaoxing cooking wine, brown sugar, and a dash of salt.
Add the marinated chicken pieces to a deep dish. Layer on cordyceps flowers and black goji berries. Add at this point if you plan on including shiitake mushrooms or black fungus.
Wash white jasmine rice and add to the rice cooker.
Place a trivet rack stand inside the rice cooker to raise the plate off the bed of rice. Alternatively, I prefer to steam in my convection oven for 30 minutes for convenience.
To steam chicken together with the rice, select normal rice cooking mode. Do not select Turbo mode.
Remove the chicken from the rice cooker after it is done cooking. The chicken will come out with a nice orangey tint.
Rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with cilantro and or finely chopped green onions.
Serve hot white rice.
