Method:

1. Place all ingredients (except salt and pepper) into the cooking pot. Add in hot water to 7 cups level. 

2. Close the pressure lid, SEAL. Pressure cook (HI) for 10 minutes. Natural pressure release 10 minutes. 

3. Add salt and white pepper to taste, shred some chicken meat from the chicken carcass, discard chicken bones, and serve warm. 

Note: If you're like me who love the "thicker" kind of 老火汤 soup, after pressure cooking, switch to Sear/ Saute (HI) mode, and add some salt to taste. Let it boil for 5-10 minutes. Add a dash of white pepper and serve. 若喜欢我的食谱，可以LIKE和追随我的面书专页，不要错过最新食谱发布。If you like my recipe, click here, LIKE & follow Miki's Food Archives Facebook page or follow us on Instagram: mfa_dingoozatfood  to receive more recipe updates.
