Dang Gui Chicken Recipe*

This chicken soup, made with Dang Gui, is good for keeping the Essential Substances and Organ Systems in harmony. If you have one a serving a week, youll find you are stronger and less vulnerable to disease.

You can use a special covered Chinese clay potavailable in Chinatowns and kitchen specialty storesthat has an opening in the bottom that resembles an Angel Food Cake or bunt pan.

If you cannot find this item, alter the recipe and use a regular pot and cook as a soup with slightly less water.

" Fill a regular 3 quart sauce pan with water.

" Roll a two-yard length of cheesecloth lengthwise into a long sausage shape and place as a collar along the rim of the saucepan. (When done, rinse for reuse.) Place the clay cooking pot on top of the cheesecloth ring, as the top of a double boiler.

" Place into the clay pot one medium (preferably organic) chicken, cut up into about 10 pieces. Add 20 grams of the herb Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis).

" You may add ginger and root vegetables such as carrots, turnips, potatoes, onions, and parsnips if you like.

" Cook over low heat for 1 to 2 hours until chicken is completely cooked and there is ample broth accumulated in the upper pot. Salt to taste.

" Eat one to two servings a week.
