Steamed Herbal Chicken 🐔



One of the dishes my family loves! Using the smiplest ingredients and marination to steam chicken legs. My kids loves to slurp on the sauce! 😋

Ingredients:
  • 5 chicken legs 
  • 5 pieces of Dang gui 
  • 6-8 pieces of red dates 
  • A handful of gou qi (wolfberries) 
Marination :
  • 2 tbsp light soya sauce
  • 1 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce 
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil 
  • 1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine 
Method:
  1. Used 2 tbsp salt to rub over chicken drumsticks. Washed and rinse away. Drained and set aside. Add marination to chicken and mix well. Use a fork to poke some holes on the flesh of chicken to enable marinate to get through. Chill overnight. 
  2. Give the herbs a quick rinse the next day. Pour 1 tbsp of hot water on dang gui and red dates and soak for five minutes. Placed herbs on chicken and pour water from soaking herbs on chicken. 
  3. Bring chicken out to room temp about 30mins before steaming. Cover chicken with a piece of baking /cooking paper.  Steamed over high heat about 25minutes or till chicken is cooked. Serve hot 😊
