Steps

Translated from the Korean original. Amounts are as in the original recipe.

Take the meat off the chicken.
Make a broth with the remaining bones, green onion, and garlic.
Cut the Chinese yam and kabocha squash into 1 x 1 x 5 cm pieces.
Grill the garlic, asparagus, and baby corn.
Put the yam, jujubes, rice, kabocha squash, and ginkgo nuts in the chicken and roll up, wrapping in plastic wrap.
Steam it in a steamer together with the kabocha squash for serving alongside.

💡 TipThe broth is not seasoned separately with salt, and sweet kabocha squash is used so the saltiness stands out.
