Ginger Juice Steamed Chicken

A simple dish made with just a few ingredients, yet packed with natural flavour. As the chicken steams, it releases its own rich essence, creating a light, nourishing broth that's perfect with a bowl of rice or macaroni

Ingredients

  • chicken drumsticks (or your preferred chicken portions)
  • Fresh ginger
  • Dried scallops
  • About 2 tsp salt (adjust to your taste)
  • 2 slices of dang gui (optional, but I love the extra flavour!)

Instructions

  1. Pound the ginger with a mortar and pestle, then squeeze out all the ginger juice. I usually sprinkle some of the squeezed ginger fibres over the chicken too.
  2. Mix the ginger juice & salt, then rub it all over the chicken. Optional to add dang gui & dried scallops for extra flavour
  3. Cover the chicken with a plate cover or heatproof lid before steaming. This helps prevent steam water frm dripping onto the chicken.
  4. Steam over medium heat for about 40 mins.
  5. Once it’s done, u’ll see plenty of natural chicken essence released there’s no added water in this recipe!
  6. We love serving it with a bowl of clear ABC macaroni soup & steamed broccoli. It’s one of my children’s favourite meals .. If u try it, let me know how it turns out!
