Steps

  1. Clean the chicken legs bought from the supermarket, put them in the rice cooker, add cinnamon, star anise, and ginger, and start to blanch them with cold water. This step is to better soak the blood water and remove the fishy smell. After all, they are frozen chicken legs, even though the production date is today.

  3. I was rushing to pick up the kids from school, but I didn’t take a picture of how to put the pressure cooker in. I only had this picture of returning home, deflating the pressure, and opening the pot. I will describe it in words. Put the blanched chicken legs into the electric pressure cooker. Pour the soaked mushrooms in together with the mushroom water. Add half a piece of ginger, sprinkle with a little salt and white pepper, cover it, and turn to the soup setting.
