Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 2 links Chinese sausage (lap cheong)
- 150 grams Fresh shiitake mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (finely minced)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic (finely minced)
- 2 stalks Green onions (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
Instructions
Slice the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Thinly slice the Chinese sausage and shiitake mushrooms. Set aside.
In the mixing bowl with the chicken, add soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, cornstarch, sesame oil, minced ginger, minced garlic, salt, and white pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly with the marinade.
Let the chicken marinate for 10–15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Prepare a heatproof plate or shallow bowl that can fit inside your steamer. Arrange the marinated chicken pieces on the plate in an even layer.
Top the chicken with the sliced Chinese sausage and shiitake mushrooms.
Bring a pot of water to boil and set up your steaming setup (bamboo steamer, metal steamer basket, or steamer insert).
Place the plate into the steamer, cover with a lid, and steam over medium-high heat for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Carefully remove the plate from the steamer. Garnish the dish with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve the steamed chicken with Chinese sausage and mushrooms hot, alongside steamed white rice or noodles.
