Prepare the sauce by adding 2 tbsp of water, 2 tbsp of Chinese cooking wine, 1 tbsp of oyster sauce, 0.5 tsp of salt, a few dashes of white pepper, and 1 tsp of corn flour into a bowl and mix well.

Add in 2 whole chicken legs (approximately 220g each) into the sauce, ensuring they are well coated.

If desired, make cuts in the chicken to allow the marinade to penetrate, but keep the skin on for presentation.

Marinate the chicken in the same steaming plate to avoid extra dishes, ensuring they do not overlap.

Add 3 pieces of Angelica Roots on top of the chicken, sprinkle 1 tsp of wolfberries, and spread 5g of julienned young ginger over the chicken.

If time allows, marinate for about 20 minutes; if not, you can steam immediately.

Use a rice cooker to steam the chicken while cooking rice simultaneously, placing the steaming tray with the chicken inside the rice cooker.

Cover and steam the chicken for approximately 15 to 20 minutes on the stovetop if not using a rice cooker.

To check if the chicken is cooked, poke through the thickest part with a sharp knife or skewer; if no reddish liquid comes out, the chicken is done.

Once cooked, serve and enjoy the dish.
