I have never noticed whether there are lotus leaves in the market. This time, in order to make lotus leaf chicken legs, I went to the big market and asked about stalls one by one, and finally bought dried lotus leaves.
Because it is wrapped with dried lotus leaves, it has a faint lotus leaf fragrance.
The chicken thighs are marinated in advance and made at home from get off work, so the pressure cooker used is time-saving and fast, and it is very soft and tasty. The family likes it.

Tips:
Because there are no fresh lotus leaves, I bought dried lotus leaves.
The lotus leaves should be soaked in water to soften and rinse off.
The seasoning is adjusted appropriately according to personal taste.
If you use a wok to make, first cook on high heat for 10 minutes, then turn to low heat for 80 minutes, and then dry the soup.
