Processing
Of the seven ingredients listed above, except for the chicken, chop each into pieces the size of a sesame seed or mung bean. Mix them evenly, place the mixture inside the chicken’s abdomen, and sew it closed. Place the chicken in a silver or stone container, cover it with a fresh cloth, and steam it in a steamer. On one side of the steamer, place a bowl containing rice and half a bowl of water; cover both with a lid to prevent air from entering. Steam until the rice and chicken are thoroughly tender. Remove the mixture, dry it separately, then pound and sift it into a powder.
