Step 1

Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl or zip lock bag. Add the marinade ingredients and toss to mix to make sure the marinade coats the chicken. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes to overnight if you have the time

Step 2

Soak lotus seeds in hot boiling water for 10 minutes or so until they are soft. Do the same with the mushrooms and soak until they are soft. Goji berries only need to be soaked briefly for 2-3 minutes until they are plump. Discard the soaking water

Step 3

Soak the lotus leaves in hot water until they are soft and pliable. Wipe the leaves dry. Trim off the tough spiny bottom of the leaf so you can fold it easier later

Step 4

Place half of the chicken on top of lotus leaves, top with half of the other ingredients like goji berries, lotus seeds, mushrooms, scallions and ginger slices/strips

Step 5

Fold two sides of the leaf up and then fold them down like a parcel. Repeat with another parcel. Place the parcel on top of a plate

Step 6

Set the bowl in a steamer and steam over high heat for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken pieces are cooked through and infused with the fragrance of the leaves

Step 7

Pour 1 cup of water into the inner pot of Instant Pot. Set the trivet in there. Place the parcel that you place on a plate on top of the trivet. Close the lid. Press "pressure cooker" and make sure it's on "high pressure". Set timer to 10 minutes. Wait 5 minutes and then fully release pressure

Step 8

Unwrap the parcel just before you are ready to serve them with rice as part of a multi-course meal
