I’ve seen and tried several versions of steamed chicken. One of my recipe is to have the chicken steamed on its own with very minimal seasonings. The other kind of cooking is to have it steamed together with other ingredients and seasoned with wine. I experimented the latter with DOM. It tasted more towards sweet side due to the DOM flavour. Probably I added too much of DOM :). This time, I substituted DOM with Shao Xing Hua Diao Jiu, that is glutinous rice wine. I did this simply for comparison purpose. As a result, I prefer the one with glutinous rice wine. It suits my taste buds better.
Steamed Chicken With Mushroom and Black Fungus
Serves 3
Ingredients:
Half of free range chicken, skinned and chopped into pieces
5 slices of ginger
2 dried mushroom, dehydrated, stalk removed and sliced
1 piece of black fungus, dehydrated and sliced thinly
Seasonings:
1 tbsp of light soy sauce
1.5 tbsp of glutinous rice wine
1 tbsp of sesame oil
Garnishing:
1 tbsp of wolfberries, dehydrated
Some chopped spring onion
Steps:
1. Arrange ginger slices on a heat-proof porcelain plate.
2. Arrange chicken on top on the ginger slices.
3. Top it with mushroom and black fungus.
4. Steam over high heat for 20-25 minutes. If you are using normal chicken, you can reduce the time accordingly.
5. Garnish it with wolfberries and spring onion. Serve hot with rice.

I like this type of simples dish. This is the right way to enjoy the sweetness of the free range chicken. This dish of yours look great.
I like to prepare the similar steamed chicken dish like your , love the gravy and nice to eat with steamed rice.
I love the wolfberries and black fungus! The set up with these on top is just so enticing ;) It must be so wonderfully sweet with all these amazing yet simple ingredients
Yes, Shaoxing wine is also good helper to me for seasoning meats. I also like the dish being accompanied with ginger and wolfberries.
yes, i believe that the rice wine does help in flavouring the dish. But i've never tried using dom before and i would like to try them ond day.
looks nice. will try it on my wife!
sometimes I add dried lilybulbs, simple and nice ;-)
Makes me hungry, delicious dish!
This is also kinda minimal. I like it as well, compared with those "really minimal" steamed chicken. The "really minimal" with just sesame oil or ginger, wine etc. is for days when other ingredients run out; and this is for days when we have more ingredients on hand and want more nutrition on one same plate. I have been doing the same with steamed fish recently. :)
I like both!! It's so simple with lovely flavours- esp with the goji berries!
I love this kind of dishes. Simply purely delicious. Even better if add in some s'mui xiang' alted fish. Yummm....
Have a lovely evening.
