    When time is up, remove the lid and season: add salt, chicken bouillon powder, and white pepper powder. Use a ladle to gently stir in a circular motion to dissolve the seasonings evenly.

    Before serving, sprinkle with scallions and goji berries — do not stir! Place towels on both sides of the pot (to protect your hands from burns), carefully lift the pot with both hands, and gently pour the soup and ingredients into a serving bowl.
